Re: Operation Market Garden
Hello Sylvester Stadler ( your name seems quite familiar...did you fight in WW2 ? )
Well, I have been looking at Tony Wood´s claims for Allied aircraft and do not remember seeing Allied Gliders being credited to German fighter pilots. Maybe some of the Historians on the Forum can confirm for us. Neither do I remember any Allied fighter pilot being given credit for any German Glider...perhaps on the Eastern Front, on Russia, but I do not remember from my literature to have read about that. Yes, there are several well known photos of a Ju 88 attacking a Horsa glider which was towed by a B-24 or a Halifax ( see Mister Kit publications for the Ju 88 ). Since the Glider crashlanded in the water, I do not know if it was credited to any of the German pilots of KG 40 involved...Had to check out. Cheers my friend
