Dogfight Between RAF and VVS over Germany, March 1945

[BruceMk11]

Thanks for the extra information Allan. I was going on memory!

94 Sqn shot down a Bulgarian 109 on the 31/3/45 and that was apparently hushed up (see FlyPast Jan 2010). But it surely would have been more difficult to have an entire wing (ie Bentwaters) keep their mouths shut about an incident involving a number of Russian a/c shot down.

Were VVS units within range of Bremen in mid-March 1945? And would the Russians have kept such an incident quiet?

Spurious claims amongst Allied pilots are not unknown.
