Re: Encounter over Denmark
Hi Chris,
I have a copy of the WO files for the pilot & gunner, both claim a Nighfighter was the cause. I think the confussion starts with the Loss Card, this suggests that the Aussie Observer F/O Barnfather died from stomach wounds "caused" by flak while decending by parachute. ! The aircraft came down in a isolated area, from my own research I believe he was wounded in the encounter, managed to bail out only to die of his wounds.
Steve
