Anyone else experiencing problems with accessing the image? All I get is a small box with a little red 'X'.

Hello You all,

thanks a lot for your interest.
The figure I have here on Höhler's claims are 14 Spitfires.

I have another question: I recently found an interesting photo showing the Mustang HB-A Mk. I s/n AH565 from No. 239 (AC) Squadron lost on the 21st of July 1942 after being shot down by a JG 2 pilot (Hptm. Bolz). Any idea of the name of this pilot, and his fate?

Thanks

Erik

If you don't get a reply in the interim, I will ask the AHB tomorrow

Hello Eric

This airplane was the Mustang MkI AG565 HB-A loss the 21st July 1942 at Norville (F76330) 30KM W of Rouen, he was shot down probably by the Stab II./JG 2 Oblt Bolz
The pilot of this airplane must be the F/Lt Veal, most probably POW
The 239th was an Army co-operation unit

Regards
Phil

I doubt if Poles would have allowed themselves to be treated in such a "chummy" fashion or looked so happy! Probably rules them out.
