Re: 2/196 airbattle near Sardinien 29.09.1943?
The GC I/3 formation was involved in the attack on the Ar196s and was 6 Spitfires strong. They possibly flew in patrols of 3 aircraft. I guess that both patrols attacked but as I said the first attack failed because of the fault of the leader and then probably the second patrol attacked and hit one Ar196, another crashing while trying to evade them. Another possibility is that they flew in 3 pairs but five names of pilots are given that attacked or tried to attack, so my guess is that all pilots took part of the action, but maybe not all fired.
I am not fluent in German. May you can translate your attached text above ?
