Last combat of Egon Mayer

[aquarya]

I'm still a long way away from looking at all the records on this date (I'm working to confirm all of Mayer's kills and obtaining all the records of those who flew against him - this is quite a lot of material from the American side at least, and I'll be pulling all the records from Kew in a couple of weeks), so I'm afraid I can't contribute much yet to this topic. It is a bit intriguing, isn't it?

I'm happy to send over the gun cam footage but it's 76MB so we'll have to use Dropbox or some other method, just let me know.... It's labelled correctly on the title slide, but it does blur at the end. I also pulled it off 35mm film....I'd be very happy if you would allow me a look at your footage if you can find it.

Also, considering Egon landed with plane and body intact, it doesn't seem like it would be such a good match with a violent kill as described by Gresham here. Planes that lose (partial) wings and go into death spirals tend to have a very horrific effect on the bodies inside when they crash based on the IDPF's from American bomber crews killed by Mayer that I've been reading..
