Night fighter victory - help needed
I was recently approached by a local person whose father was killed in action while serving on bombers during WW2. He asked if I could find out any more information about his father's loss, so here are the details he gave to me:
9 Squadron, Lancaster III WS-Z Serial: ED834 His father was Sgt. Leslie John Daker, Flight Engineer Took off from Bardney, Lincolnshire for Dusseldorf on the night of 25th/26th May 1943. Shot down by Nightfighter 2Kms. from Vlissingen (Flushing). Bodies of the crew were washed ashore and buried in Vlissingen. Can anyone identify the Nightfighter unit, or even the German pilot concerned, for him? Any help would be appreciated, as Nightfighter units are not my forte. I will post the same information in the Allied Forum in the hope of giving comprehensive coverage to his query.
