Re: 414 NFS claims

Lutz's Mosquito was SZ998 SM-V. Anyone have any more info on these losses? Keep up the good work Nick I like your books and site. Do you have anything else in the works?

(1) Thank you.

(2) Various stuff is in the works for the site, some very soon but the more insanely ambitious ideas may take a little/lot longer.

Books, I don't really know. I have all kinds of raw material to work on but can't tell yet what any particular strand might add up to. Now if I didn't have to spend so much time earning a living ...

James
What is your source? The problem is that SZ998 SM-J was lost with S/L Hanbury & F/L Hart on 6/7 April, while on 8/9 April W/O Everson & Sgt Ruud were downed by a P-61 while flying NT187 SM-V. I assume Lutz flew a borrowed 305 Sqn aircraft, and it would have been a real irony if Jones downed an aircraft from the very same Squadron!

Re: 414 NFS claims

How did Lutz come to be flying a Mossie FB VI of RAF #305?

I have 305 based at Esinoy/Cambrai and 414 based at Strassfeld, Germany at that time.

Re: 414 NFS claims

Thanks James.

I have to agree with the previous two posters though, it strikes me as far more likely that Lutz's Mosquito is the one he shot down, not the one he flew! I also have SM-V as NT187.

Don't know if this link still works:

Edit - Well, it does and it doesn't. You have to input the A3130... etc part into the "Search the archive" box to get to Reg Everson's story.
