Re: Me262s on 31st March 1945
Hi Mark,
I'd sortied out some details from RAF records on the encounter on this day, but have to locate my notes. From memory, an analysis of losses shows that a couple of Lancasters came down well south-west of Hamburg, while the rest came down in and around the Hamburg area, with a cluster in the southern outskirts. What is apparent is that both sides overclaimed. Below I have reproduced a page from a Bomber Command memorandum from April 1945, giving a resume of claims made by Lancaster crews against the Me262s. I will post the other docs as I find them; they'll give you a good overview of the two main actions. Cheers RodM
