Me 109 loss , March 8 1943
Hello gentlemen ,
That day a german fighter was shot down during a dog fight near St Valéry-en-Caux in Normandie , pilot bailed out unhurt . I would like to identify both man and machine , most certainly from 12/JG 2 . Engine still buried . Thank you , Laurent. |

Fantastic John !
Many thanks , location is quite accurate ( in fact where landed the pilot )however is there a possibily to learn more about the man ? In his "JG26 war diary " , Caldwell states about two 12/JG2 Me109s lost that day , do you have something regarding the second one ? Laurent. |
