Combat with a Liberator 28 Oct 43
A Fw 200 from Stab III./KG 40 reported a combat over Convoy SL.138/ MKS.28 over the southern Atlantic 1053 hrs on this date. There is no mention in the Coastal Command Intsum-has anyone got any ideas as to who it might be?

There is one possible encounter over the convoy on the 30th (see attached from HW13/37) but nothing in the same source for the 27th, 28th or 29th.

Re: Combat with a Liberator 28 Oct 43
Hi Chris
The aircraft was Liberator "F" flown by 1Lt Walter S. McDonnell (1st A/S Squadron/480th A/S Group USAAF) on convoy coverage from Port Lyautey on 28 October 1943. They sighted a Fw 200 at 1100A in position 39°20'N/19°35W, but were unable to engage it as the enemy aircraft sought cloud cover and apparently abandoned making an attack on the convoy.
