PT772
Hi,
Fighter Command War Diary vol 5 has one loss for 127 Sqdn on the 2nd Oct 44. it has the Spitfire as MIA and same for pilot. "Morning sorties cost two more Spitfire pilots, one to Flak near Calais and the other being killed at Manston on return from a shipping strike." "The Luftwaffe claimed seven Spitfires," 127...1spit MIA...pilot MIA 229...1Spit CatE...pilot KIA (?) 401...1Spit MIA... pilot MIA F/Lt. R.R.Bouskill 401...1Spit CatE...pilot W/O.M.Thomas 421...1Spit CatE baled into allied lines F/O J.M.Calvert Air Brit has only that PT772-127- was hit by flak attacking gun position and crashlanded 2.10.44. FCWD vol 5 makes no mention of the 308 Spit loss ML316 "T" of Sgt. J.Glowczewski... pilot safe. Who was the 229 Sqdn pilot lost and which Spitfire was it ? That would bring the Luftwaffe claim closer to being correct . Alex  :?
