Ghost fighter in Somme
Hello gentlemen,
On October 18th, 1943 at 3:35 pm, a German fighter collides the ground in the South of Amiens. Fw190 or Bf109 ? Nothing for the JG2, nothing for the JG26. Has anybody an answer for this plane and his pilot ? Regards

I have a Bf 109 of 8./J.G.2 damaged near Amiens. Regards, Andreas B

Re: Ghost fighter in Somme
Thanks Andreas,
It is not this 8./JG2 Bf109 G-6 (27170) motor failed, landing 10%. I look that shoot down by the F/O Jacques Andrieux of 91 Sqdn. In the book "Une poignée d' As" this pilot evokes a pousuite more than a real fight. The German plane collided has full speed. Maybe a JG3 or a SKG10 present in the region...

Re: Ghost fighter in Somme
Hi.
My guesses would then be: - Recon unit - any with single engined types in the area at the time? - Training unit - Location wrong - Serious error in aircraft recognition - not a fighter? Multiple losses for JG 3 on the date, seems to be in another area. Regards, Andreas B

Re: Ghost fighter in Somme
Good evening and thank you for your research. I think my last solution is to Bourdon at the military cemetery. Browse Names (22215) and find the dead of 18/10/1943 ... I will return you submit !
But today too much snow !!! Regards
