On the first question I would think so. Abott saw his victim after leaving the airfield heading west. He shot, then turned around to chase him heading in opposite direction.

If Steinke was heading ~ se then turning around, chasing and closing to shoot again could easily take 12 miles at 300 mph? ~ 3-4 minutes

Unfortunately it appears that not much is known regarding the other two losses IV./JG 3 suffered on 29 April 1944 as both pilots were not casualties. The loss list simply states the following for both losses:

IV./JG 3 NN - Luftkampf, Ort unbekannt, 100% Bf 109 G-6

Perhaps someone else can add additional details if new information has been uncovered.

Horrido!

Gents

Thank you very much indeed for your continued support through this.

It is a shame that there are no additional details concerning the IV./JG3 Bf-109 losses on 29-Apr-44, other than Steinke. It may of proven fruitful.

I shall indeed approach USAFHRC at Maxwell AFB (thank you for the link) and I will report on any positive findings here.

Thanks again.

Regards Richard.
