Pilot of Stuka Ju87C shot down 6.6.1944
I came across this thread some time ago and posted a reply in it, however I did not receive any replies myself so I will try a new thread.
D-Day Ju 87 massacre - http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=20172 Quote:
I have Herr Kather's Leistungsbücher, his last Feindflug (No. 381) was on 6.6.1944 as a member of II/S.G. 103. From the info posted by "thenelm" I see he was attached to the Einsatz Staffel. Interestingly he took off from Metz-Frescaty at 19:30 on the evening of 6.6.1944 and reports seeing in excess of 30 Mustangs. After about 5 minutes of combat at 21:00 was shot down over Auneau en Eure-et-Loir. Does anyone know who the pilot was on this day? Of course the Leistungsbuch, unlike the Flugbuch does not record the pilot or any ID marks of the aircraft. Throughout the war, well from the first combat mission on 1.9.1939 at 04:26 until 16.10.1943 he flew as the Bordfunker Bruno Dilley EL. October 1943 was when Herr Dilley took over command of S.G. 103. So, was Bruno Dilley the pilot of this Ju87 on this day? Thanks for your assistance. Ian |
