Thanks, Brian,

I looked at Sea Eagles as well. Nothing there. This whole episode is confusing.

There is an eyewitness report of a Fw 200 guiding two Hs 293 missiles against ships in convoy UGS-40 on 11 May 1944. Neither missile hit. Thiis is reported in the after-action report of the convoy escort commander. Morison makes the same statement, most likely based on the same after-actionr report. That after-action report also says that this same Fw 200 was shot down.

I'm trying to determine the validity of this report.

Marty
