Re: Clostermann shot down?
Don't bother checking Adriano. We are in red herring territory.
I am well aware, Franek, of the deficiencies of RAF Squadron ORBs, having spent a considerable part of the last 30 years comparing them with other documents. However, what do we have here? An alleged combat on 21 April 1945 in which 2 or 3 Tempests were shot down/damaged and a Fw190 claimed destroyed. Any note in a Tempest Squadron ORB? None. Any RAF combat report? None. Any mention in the '2nd TAF Log of Casualty Claims, Assessments and Losses'? None. Any Tempests other than McKenzie's lost that day? None. Any supporting documentation from the purveyors of this yarn? None. Oh yes, and a pilot from 33 sqn involved, despite having been killed 9 days earlier. Mmmmm.
