Douglas Pitcairn
Anyone have details concerning Hptm Douglas Pitcairn ? In WW2 he was St.Kapt. 1./JG51 and claimed 4 victories before being injured in a crash which ended his combat flying. 1. 25.09.39 Curtiss 2. 21.05.40 Hurricane
3. 23.05.40 Dewoitine 4. 06.06.40 LeO451. He had served in the Spanish Civil War and the book Polesti by James Dugan and Carroll Stewart (Random House, 1962)notes his service in Spain. At page 88; "He entered combat...in 1936 with a Heinkel 51 squadron...his first enemy aircraft destroyed was a...Curtiss, piloted by a French volunteer..." Have not been able to find any details of this victory. Can you help ? Pyker
