Re: "Normandie" claims over Bf110, 13 july 1943
Being the author of the book on Normandie-Niémen, I must be fair.
Castelain statement is as follows:
"The sudden dive and the smoke belching from the 110 leads me to believe in a positive result, but being attacked by another Me 110 I was not able to watch it crash".
The claim will be confirmed by ground witnesses.
Littolff's claim is less doubtful, since he watched "his" 110 crash 5 km NW Kstin bridge.
Which one is Bleschmidt's -if any - remains an open question.
