Garry Nowell's claim 13 JUNE 43 - England

[Phil L.]

Hello,

The ace Garry Nowell claimed a Bf109 on 13 June 43, the pilot becoming a PoW.

Any idea of the identity of the German pilot and the unit he was serving with?

Thanks
Phil

Hello Phil,

One possible matching loss is that of a recce Bf 109 G-4 Wnr. 14910 of 5.(F)/123, whose pilot Fw. Heinz Sieker is listed as missing after the aerial combat over the Channel in GQM returns, but I have no information whether the time of Sieker´s loss matches the time of Nowell´s claim (which is, by the way, listed as an Fw 190 both in Fighter Command Claims and Casualties and John Foreman´s RAF Fighter Command Victory Claims of World War Two, Part Two).

Hope this might help a little,

Ota

I think I interviewed Nowell about this and have details at home (have you seen my answer to your other query?)
