Photos 12-31

[GrahamB]

Hi Kenneth,

the photo of the downed Bf 109 G-14 appears (at least) in 'Monogram Close-Up No.7 Gustav, Messerschmitt 109G Part 2', page 26. The caption for the two photos does not identify the pilot, aircraft, unit or date but gives the location as 'near Halstroff', and the cause 'brought down...by anti-aircraft fire'. A 0.5 cal hit to the magneto is pointed out by a Major G. Wiess of Ames, Iowa. The aircraft was one of twelve attacking American positions and was one of no less than nine shot down, by 90th Division Artillery.

No doubt someone else can fill in the details with this information as a basis?

Cheers
