Re: Maj. Georg-Peter Eder-17 times shot down

Hello,

This is my first (but unfortunately late) posting. It is said that Peter Eder was shot by Spitfire (mistaking for P-47?) when hanging under his parachute just after the bailing out of his Bf 109 on the 5th November 1943 near Binche (Belgium)! I know any allied claim which may match Eder'109 this day. I remember the verlustmeldung stated a mechanical failure. Eder was flying with his Staffel from Deelen to Creil when he was possibly shot down.
Would it be possible to know the real reason of his bailout?
I research WW2 wrecks and their histories, Eder's 109 is one of mine projects.

Best regards.

Please excuse my shortage of English.
