Luftwaffe loss
Hello all, can anyone help with the following please?
On the 8th of June, 1944 B-24J 42-109830 'Daisy Mae Scraggs' was shot down by 109s just off the coast of the Cherbourg Peninsula near Granville. The aircraft exploded in the air and the remains came down on and around the Isle de Chausey. 5 men survived to become POWs and 5 were KIA. During the combat (as recorded in the MACR) the engineer/top-turret gunner, T/Sgt. Leedy claimed to have destroyed a 109 that blew up in the air. This was confirmed at the time by S/Sgt. Nace the right waist gunner. Both crew died in the action! There is a claim for a B-24:Fw.Schuster of 4.(F)/123 (Eins) 05 Ost S/00/5 600m 8.00. This seems to match. Does anyone have info on the identity of the destroyed Luftwaffe aircraft/pilot/unit if any at all? Steve.
