Claim for Bücker131 on 4th April 1944
Seeking details of the single engine Biplane shot down by W/C Braham in a Mosquto of 613 Sqd. on 4th April 1944 . Braham's combat report said it was possibly a Bü131 which disintegrated under his fire at 1545 hrs. The RAF Victory Claims list by John Foreman gives the crash location as St.Jean d' Angel . I looked on the GQM Training Units losses but could not find this one , unless its a very late report
Thanks Brian Bines |

Thanks Matti for this , as Chris said the only Mosquito claim that day and details match . Braham's report give the following as his approximate point of contact with the Fw 44 - 45 deg 15 min N. 0 deg 45 min W - if I am identiying this on Google maps right it looks like by Saint-Estephe to the S/W of Fontaines-d'Ozillac .
The VDK site for the graves of these two airmen is given as Tantanes de Ozellas a location I cannot find so it looks like a misspelling of Fontaines-d'Ozillac Regards Brian Bines Any else having trouble signing on to TOCH I keep getting a note sayinu Internal Server Error ? |
