Re: 16 April 1942 Spitfire claims against JG2
Lukaszewicz fought in Calais area, so not the one.
https://discovery.nationalarchives.g...ils/r/D7446242 Northolt Wing fought in Le Havre area around noon. Horbaczewski's victim fell apart, there is a gun camera film from this combat showing 109 smoking really bad. https://discovery.nationalarchives.g...ils/r/D7445510

Re: 16 April 1942 Spitfire claims against JG2
Thanks, that is the film. I have seen, and actually have somewhere, HQ stills from the film. At the last moments filmed, it was turning into a ball of smoke. The pilot reputedly baled out. Did Eichler drown or was there another pilot downed?
I wonder if there are any SND reports available for the combat.
