Awesome clip of Me 262 & He 219 being strafed by 8th AF aircraft

[richdlc]

Hi guys

this remarkable gun camera footage is a great find for me as it is directly relevant to my He 219 project (see 2 minutes onwards for He 219). What I would like to know is where the airfield was... this is why I was asking the other day on the forums about Lt. J.R. McDonald, 388th FS, 55th FG. I believe the second clip (Me 262 footage) was from Fliegerhorst Giebelstadt, but am not convinced that the McDonald He 219 footage is from the same airfield. If I could pin down exactly where McDonald was on Jan 14, 1945 then obviously we could ID the airfield...

Kent pointed out the other day that on this date McDonald claimed a Me 262 destroyed on the ground at Parchim (Eighth Air Force Victory Credit Board reports). Would the He 219 footage also be Parchim? Why then would he not mention the He 219?

Anyway enjoy the clips. I would recommend changing the quality to 480, and slowing the footage down by 50%.
