Looking for a German night fighter pilot
On the night of 4-5 July 1944, my wife's uncle was a bombardier on board a B-24 flying a Carpetbagger mission that was shot down near Lagny-le-Sec in France. There was a small Luftwaffe airfield nearby flying bf-110 night fighters and they had the misfortune to fly over at relatively low altitude. Am looking for info on the German pilot.
Another B-24 on a Carpetbagger mission -- the Meade crew -- was also shot down that night by a pilot named Strassner, I believe, and there has been some confusion in the records between the two aircraft. The B-24 I am asking about is the Kline crew. I have a lot of info about the Kline crew -- all were KIA -- and their mission, but nothing on the German pilot. Thanks |
