Hi,

Anyone know if any air-to-air claims were made by 263 Squadron Typhoon pilots?

Any help appreciated.

Regards,

Alex

According to 'The Typhoon and Tempest Story' ISBN 0-85368-878-8 on 12-2-44 Do 217 near Gael ( U5+GL of 3/KG 2 - 6 men baled out 2 inj. 1 killed), 13-2-44 Bf 109 N/W Chartres, 31-3-1944 Me 410 over Morlaix, 18-4-1944 Me 410 south of Bretigny, 18-4-1944 Do 217 shared by four pilots N/W Villaroche ( Ulf Balke does not record one in his KG 2 book but on 19th. he shows a Ju 188 of 11/KG 2 making an emergeny landing S/W of Melun after being attacked by enemy fighters with two killed and two injured ). Hope this helps,

Brian missed the last one on the list - an Me262 on 26 April 1945, shared by 3 pilots.

According to the Shore/Thomas book 263 Sqn made 6 claims > 1 Bf109, 2 Do217, 2 Me210/410 and 1 Me262.

Details can be found starting on pg 184, Appendix 3.

Chris, really enjoyed your book.
