Banff Wing claim 30 Oct 44
In A Separate Little War Andy Bird describes the downing of a Ju 88 on 30 Oct. 1944 by four Mosquito pilots of the Banff Wing; W/C Atkinson and F/L Jacques of 235 Sqn. plus two unnamed pilots of 248 Sqn., one of whom was flying a 57mm armed Tsetse!
The narrative of the engagement seems to indicate that all four fired on the Junkers. However in Those Other Eagles Chris Shores shows that Jacques was alone in receiving full credit. Can anyone comment as to whether or not the other three were in fact credited with shares. If so does anyone have the names of the 248 pilots involved? Thanks, Tom
