Re: Me 262 WNr. 111 948
Hi
Jurleit in his book states this Me 262 was lost on either the 23rd or 29th.
Obviously there is a badly handwritten report that is hard to read somewhere.
No USAAF/RAF units reported any Me 262 victory on the 29th, but RAF was more active on the 23rd and the following pilots made claims
F/O Yeardley 126Sq 1 Me 262 dest
F/L Watt 129Sq 1 Me 262 dam
W/O Pietrzak 309Sq 1 Me 262 dam
(Me 262 combat diary)
Checking Classic's Me 262 books vol 3 does not support Jurleit and does not mention any loss of the Luftwaffe either on the 23rd nor 29th, but speculates Yeardly's victory on the 23rd "probably was vs I./JG 7"
Main problem with the four-volume Classic books are their lack of any productionlist and/or loss list. What they have is all in a flowing text.
IF they have anything on WNr 111948 it is VERY hard to find, since you have to go through a substantial number of pages to locate it...
