Bf109 2/JG54 shot down 3 July 1940
Hi guys
I have just been advised by Rob that a Bf109E of 2/JG54 was shot down by return fire from a Hudson of 206 Squadron; the pilot baled out and his aircraft crashed in Assendelft. Has anyone the identity of the pilot and any additional details? Cheers Brian |

Hello Brian,
just a minor detail -- two Me 109E's of 2./JG 54 took off from Amsterdam Schiphol to intercept the Hudson of 206 Sqdn - one was shot down - these Me 109E's were a detachment of the I./JG 54 which was stationed at Eindhoven airfield. Regards Rob |

Hi Brian,
I've not much more on the identity of the Bf.109 or ist pilot but can supply the combat report of the Hudson crew and a page of the Kriegstagebuch Fliegerhorst Schiphol dealing with this event. Regards, Hans Nauta |
