Need help in finding Mr. 1/Lt Norbert W. Kirkpatrick of 15th TAC
Hi to all,
I´m looking for Mr. 1/Lt Norbert W. Kirkpatrick of 15th TAC rcn sqn, who had shot down a Ju 87 of 3./NSGr. 2 on 5th April 1945: Taken from the book of Tom Ivie: Photographic Reconnaissance (Aero Publishers Inc., Fallbrook CA, 1981), page 152: Lt. N. W. Kirkpatrick and Lt. Stewart A. Wilson of the 15th TAC were in the vicinity of Munchberg checking movement on the Autobahn when Kirkpatrick sighted a Ju-87 flying north at 1000 feet. Pushing his Mustang into a dive, Kirkpatrick closed to within 200 yards and opened fire, then watched as the Stuka dropped off on one wing and went straight into the ground. A veteran of NSGr. 2 would like to invite Mr. Kirkpatrick to Germany! So, maybe someone can help in finding him or telling more about his fate. Is he or Lt. Stewart A. Wilson still alive? Thank you very much for any help. Best regards, Christian Möller Research on Nachtschlachtgruppen (night ground attack units) Germany |
