Spitfires,Thunderbolts and Warm Beer
Hi,
just finished reading this book by Philip D Caine, based on the diaries of LeRoy Gover - some questions:- 20 May 1942 : flying with 66 Squadron Gover claimed a B.109 over Cherbourg 30 May 1942: Combat with 109's & 190's, 1 of 66 's pilots shot down in sea. 31 May 1942: Gover shot down by a 109 and baled out landing safely 19 Aug 1942: The Author states that Gover shot down a Fw.109 over Dieppe on 66's first patrol and damaged a 109 on the second patrol I can find no record of any of this - any comments Cheers Bruce Lander |
