Re: Late-war Bf 109 question

Yes, Bill Lyons is the pilot I am referring to. He remembers lots of details of the encounter, and I'm trying to find out which 109 he shot down.
When the 109 attacked, the flight split up. Yellow 1 and 2 disappeared while Yellow 3 (Lt. Ed Moroney) engaged the 109 but couldn't get on his tail. Yellow 4 (Lyons) then recovered from the stall he entered trying to avoid the 109's attack. At high speed he shot up, damaged the 109, rolled over the top and followed the fleeing 109 in a 45-degree dive and severely shot it up. The pilot tried to bail out but was wounded or killed by the bullets. His dive steepened and he went in with his aircraft.
