Re: German Night Fighter Ace - Manfred Meurer

Thanks everyone for your kind help and time.

The lancaster in question was ED497 and was a 49 Squadron Lancaster. I'm desperately trying to find a combat report for that night but a collector/historian friend of mine says that it is near impossible to find such a document.

Theo Boiten's records would appear contradictory as I've always been led to belive that the a/c was shot down at 01:41.
It would be difficult to shoot down 2 lancasters in the space of one minute, surely.....who knows?

kind regards to everyone with an interest in the past.....
