Last aerial combat WWII Europe
Hi All,
the "legend" says the last aerial combat of WWII in Europe took place on april 11th, 1945, with Duane Francies and his observer Martin shooting down a Fieseler Storch, using their COlt .45 from their Piper L-4H. The story is seducing, but browsing through the 354th Fighter Group story, I read that P-51s from its squadrons had some aerial fights on april 16, shooting down 13 Fw 190, on april 17th, Capt Jack A. Warner shooting down a Me 262, on april 19, 20, 22 and 26 – this last day, Edward Bickford shooting two Fw 190D and Kenneth Wise one. Any of you expert has an idea as to from which units the downed Luftwaffe plane belonged ? |

Re: Last aerial combat WWII Europe
I've replied to this on the Allied and Soviet page. No sense in running two separate threads, so let's continue there.
