Re: Me262 claim for US a/c over Austria on 26th Nov 1944
Hi,
There was also a claim for a F-5 Lightning of 7 PRG ( serial 43-28619 ) flown by Lt Irving J. Rickey, who was shot down by Obfw. Hermann Buchner at 24,000 feet near Augsburg. The US aicraft crahsed near Spesshardt, 20 km S of Pforzheim. ( sources: Me 262 Combat Diary from Foreman and Harvey, pgs 97, 98 ). Hope this will help too...although this combat seems to have been a bit more to the NW than this one you are looking for... Sincerely yours Adriano Baumgartner ( Brazilian ) |
