Re: eBay: Allied intrest
POST 3656.
309FS / 31FG. Serial overpainted but up-dated insignia dates it post-July 43. They were flying patrols over the Anzio beachhead at this time. All Spitfire IXs and all 3 pilots KIA in this area. 3--possibles......(Group was using double-letters then)..... EP615 WZ-GG (ex-Mk.V) F/O B.W. Collins, enemy aircraft over beachhead 7 Feb.44. JL253 WZ-FF 2/Lt. W.W. Yokum (Flak ?) 7 Feb.44. MA625 WZ-NN 2/Lt. W.G. Nisbet probably e/a 29 Feb.44. FW190s were in area. This was shortly before re-equipping with P-51s. The Luftwaffe was strafing their base (Nettuno near the beachhead though main base was Castel Volturno) from the 29th. so maybe destroyed on the ground. There are MACRs for all 3. Nick |
