Combats off Le Havre AM 4 May 42
Hptm Ignaz Prestele Gr Kdr I./JG 2 was shot down off Cap D'Antifer on 4 May 42 and died in hospital the same day. I have him plus one more from JG 2 shot down (in Bf 109 Fs) (there was a Fw 190 of JG 26 slightly damaged). The RAF claimed 5 Bf 109 Fs destroyed 1020-1040 hrs (72, 124 Sqn & Biggin Hill Wg) plus another four damaged (222 Sqn, Biggin Hill Wg & North Weald Wg). However, in the same combat JG 2 claimed 7 Spitfires and a cursory glance shows three Spitfires lost. Any ideas as to who might have got Prestele?
