Re: ID of Ju 88 lost on 18th August 1944 near Le Puy
Hello Nick,
Thank you very much for your answer and nice message. No, it is not 1st/Lt Nicholson's claim am looking after, but rather 1st/Lt William R. Hornsby Junior who apparently shot down a Ju 88 and had to bail out very soon after (I am not sure, but he may have flown amongst the debris of the machine he shot down). The machine was claimed (it seems so) near Le Puy, so I assumed it would be the town near Saint-Etienne (Central France). Do you, by chance do have any information about Hornsby's claim? Most humbly yours, Adriano |
