The first victim of a Me 262 attack.

8.8.1944 Ltn Joachim Weber/EKdo 262 shot down a Mossie near Ohlstadt, to my understanding it was a Mossie PR XVI/540 Sqn. Have anyone info on its serial and the crew? The plane should be the first genuine kill by a Me 262 pilot.

TIA
Juha

Thanks a lot Col for the instant answer!
So it was an unpressuried PR IX after all.

Thankfully
Juha
