Re: Luftwaffe P51 shot down by US P47 ?

A flyable P-51 would have been a valuable commodity to the Axis, particularly in the reconnaissance role after allied numbers began to overwhelm the Luftwaffe. Maybe the pilot "shadowing" the 38s never actually spotted them until the last moment? Certainly taking such a prize into combat would be an unpopular decision with his superiors...

Were any D. 520s lost that day?
