Re: Bf 109 pilot KIA near Schipol - circa Sept/Oct 1941 (quote on "Boldness be my friend" by Richard B. Pape)
I remember a former PRU Mosquito Navigator who informed that he had been chased away by at least some six Me 262 and shot down by one of those...only to be informed later that actually he was shot down by a Bf 109 from JG 300...and that much less airplanes were actually dispatched to intercept his Mossie.....Bad memory or trying to embellish his story? Who knows...we can not blame them, the veterans....but History is based on documents, and registered (documented) facts. This is why it is so thrilling and fascinating.
