Re: W/Cdr E.J.Carter DFC C.O. of 97 Squadron

There was quite a flurry of activity in the media during 2012 following the discovery of the wreckage of Carter's Lancaster:

Carter's aircraft was shot down by Oberleutentant Helmut Eberspächer; should you be interested I have a copy of his account of the action as it appeared in a 1995 edition of Luftwaffen-Revue. Eberspächer actually accounted for three bombers, all of which were silhouetted against thin overcast by strong moonlight.
