Re: help with japanese pilots claims
hi,
many thanks for your fast response,
about the allied losses and claims of this pilot i found many info
but i think i don´t have some claims 33 of 38? 50?
the other mosquito 10.12.43 seems:
Mosquito DZ696 (F/O Eugene Cotton and Flt. Sgt. Raymond Edwards Woods , 684 Sqn.) after 40 minutes pursuit he sat just 160 feet below and behind the Mosquito. From there he shot up its left engine. Despite his Oscar's guns jamming he bluffed the Mosquito crew into turning back to land. They flew back to Kuroe's base in formation, when Kuroe instructed the Mosquito to land. Unfortunately, the Mosquito hit a tree and crashed fatally
in other sources i see different names:
¿DZ697/S Sgts Boot and E A Wilkins KIA shot down over Rangoon?
¿DZ697/S Sgt Geoffrey Maurice Bools and E A Wilkins?
regards
