Lancaster Gunners destroy a V1 ?
In Martin Middlebrook's "The Bomber Command War Diaries" on page 674 he gives brief details of a 619 Lancaster flown by Wing Commander S.G Birch, the Gunners of this lancaster claimed V1 as destroyed ?
It was during a raid against the Dortmund Ems Canal, on 3/4 March 1945. I assume the raid was at night but could have been daylight for this late period of the war. Did this actually happen / were the gunners given credit for this ? Did any other gunners from either RAF or USAF bombers claim V1's during the war?
