who did it?

[Stijn David]

Hello,


Anyone a idea on wich crew and unit did shot down the following Englisch aircraft?

"Lancaster PA984 took off from RAF Upwood at 2201 hours on the night of 14/15th July 1944 detailed to attack rail facilities at Revigny, France, as Deputy Master Bomber.

Nothing was heard from the aircraft after take off and it failed to return to base."

Thanks in advance,

Hello Stijn

According to Theo Boiten and Rod Mackenzie in The Nachjagd War Dairies, this aircraft and its crew fell victim to Oberfeldwebel Reinhard Kollak (49 victories, RK) of 8./NJG 4 as his 45th victory. The claim was recorded at 2:05 on 15 July 1944 east of St Dizier at 2,500 meters. I hope this helps.

Horrido!
