A Spitfire bombing a freighter in Nice harbour was attacked by 4 Fw 190Ds - the new modified German fighter with an inline engine as opposed to the old radial engined Fw 190s. Two Spitfires were lost, Lt. Hoover bailing out. When 6 Spitfires were sent to search for Lt. Hoover, they were also attacked by the new 'Doras', which downed another Spitfire before losing one of the new machines. Ofw. Siegfried Lemke of 1./JG 2 claimed 4 Spitfires for the day.

It would appear that Lemke accounted for all three USAAF Spitfires.

The painting by Heinz Krebs appear to show the Fw-190's with radial engine. Since copies of the painting signed by both Hoover and Lemke are being offered, one would assume that the depiction of the aircraft in the painting are accurate.

Anyone have additional details of the action?

According to Hoover's account, James Montgomery was the other pilot shot down in the first action. Who were the other pilots shot down in the second action? (One additional USAAF Spitfire V and one JG2 Fw-190 were downed in the second action according to the WW2 general thread quoted above).

Are there details available of the markings of aircraft involved in this action?

Many thanks in advance!
