ORB 6th October 1944 56, 402 & 442 Sq.
Hi All Is there anyone who could provide us with copies from the ORB’s of 56 Sq 402 and 442 Sq of October 6th, 1944 ? On this date P/O Miller & F/S Jackson of 56 Sq RAF, F/L Speare of 402 Sq RCAF and F/L Goodwin of 442 Sq RCAF (Wing 126 RCAF) each claimed to have shot down one Fw 190. On this date Luftwaffe Pilot Lt. Rudolf Wirtgen was shot down with his Fw 190 somewhere in the south of Holland and he is still missing possibly in the wreckage of his a/c. His relatives won’t give up the search for his last resting place which is not known here to give him a proper grave. Maybe the ORB’s give a bit more details about where the allied Pilots of 2nd TAF gained their kills.
