Re: kills of A-26 pilots

Hello Tom.


Not a lot of details available on A-26 pilots claiming kills. There is some specific mention of air combat by A-26s noted in the following references, together with some very general comments on Luftwaffe fighter attacks driven off by A-26 gunner-directed return fire.


Osprey Combat Aircraft 82 – A-26 Invader Units of WW2
19-Feb-1945 Maj Myron Durkee – 386 BG – Me262 probable

SSP-1037 – Douglas A-26 Invader in Action
9-March-1945 – during raid on Wersbaden marshalling yards, 30 Bf109s attack a similar number of 38 BG A-26s. 3x A-26s lost against 8x unconfirmed kills (no official credit awarded).

Happy hunting,
…geoff
