Re: Pilot Horst Rippert claimed Saint Exupéry : 31 July 1944 / 15 March 2008 !
Hi Norbert,
The RL 8/80 unfortunately ends in early July.
So I am still not aware of any original document (Allied or German one)indicating a) aerial engagement over Southern France on July 31, 1944 and/or b) record about shooting down of Allied airplane in same teritorry and time.
I saw some interpretations recently in Fliegerblatt, but again - no original Allied or German documents were shown ... and I am looking forward to see what Flugzeug artical contains.
I identified another radar unit active in Southern France in this period. I will take a look in BA/MA document related to the unit and if something relevant will be there, I will post it here.
kind regards
