Hi Brian

On 23rd July 1944 he was shot down in combat with Russian aircraft, wounded he baled-out of his Bf109 5km East of Chodorow, Russia. On 26th December 1944 he was listed as missing, his Bf109 cominmg down in the region of Baranow, Poland. Sorry, but I have no date of Birth for him!

Chodorow it's not in Russia but in Western Ukraine, Lwow region. It is probable that Meyer's Bf 109 was shot down by St Lt Leonid Kozyrev from 113 GIAP flying La-5.
