Re: 27/4/1945:P-47? vs JV44
In reading the two statements from pilots flying with Lt. Bond, it does not appear that any enemy aircraft were in the area when he crashed, nor did either notice any ground fire. Lt. Shaheen stated, "He hit flat, as if mushing in the pull out and skidded and skidded about two hundred yards leaving a trail of fire behind him." This does not clear up anything as far as JV 44 claims but does seem to rule out this P-47 as being a downed by a jet or FW 190.
