Re: Spitfire claimed by Lt. Alfred Schreiber on 2nd August 1944
According to Spitfire production lists available on the Net, there was no Spitfire loss this day over the area where Schreiber might have flown.
But 542 Sqn lost this day Spitfire PR XI EN682 for the following reason according to this source: engine failed wheels up landing nr Billingshurst Station Sussex CE 2-8-44.
If this was during an operational flight there is a remote possibility that Schreiber attacked it and damaged it unseen... But it is more probable that Schreiber overclaimed.
