Where and when did he go down, what was he flying?

[Kaczmarek]

The entry in his flightbook say "At 14.45 20 km north of Rheine shot down by 4 Thunderbolts" "Enemy contact with 150 Liberators 10 Thunderbolts und Lightnings at EQ and FQ".

He flew a Bf 109 "9".

Koraleski's squadron Code was WR*L, Fortier's was WR*N and Barger's was WR*C.

This 109 was cornered on the deck and had no chance to bail out.

It was a shared victory credit .33 each
