Bomber Killers
Hi guys
Major Egon Mayer (102 victories, RK-S, killed in action 2 March 1944), Geschwaderkommodore of JG 2, claimed four USAAF four-engined bombers on 7 January 1944 (95-98) and Hauptmann Hermann Staiger (63 victories, RK), Staffelkapitän of 12./JG 26, claimed four USAAF four-engined bombers as well on 24 April 1944 (51-54). There may have been others but these two come to mind. Note that Staiger was flying the Bf 109 G-6 at the time. However, from the strength returns it may have also been a gunned up Bf 109 G-6/U4 variant as well.
Horrido!
