Re: ORB 6th October 1944 56, 402 & 442 Sq.
442 Sqn, flying Spitfire IXe, made claims between 1415 and 1545, E of Nijmegen. Combat reports in Air 50/153, microfilm frames 27, 29, 33, 44, 45, 72. A mixture of Bf 109s and FW 190s, dest, prob and dam. In addition one claim for a FW 190 prob at 1505, slightly E of Cleve; Air 50/153-11 and 31.
402 Sqn, flying Spitfire XIVe, made claims at 1520, SE of Nijmegen, for 109s and a 190 dest. Combat reports Air 50/137, frames 71, 77, 157.
403 Sqn, flying Spitfire IXb, made a single claim at 1520, over Nijmegen, for a 109. Air 50/138-174.
56 Sqn, flying Tempest V, made claims at 1530, N of Nijmegen, for 2 190s. Air 50/22-338.
I have not recorded any more accurate map coordinates for these claims. If they are in the text of the combat report, I missed them.
Enjoy!
Frank.
