EXTRACT FROM COMBAT REPORT
Date: 18.9.40
Time of Attack: 12.40
'After having carried
out beam attack on about 15 Do 215s, at 18000ft the bombers turned south
and I climbed up behind them. I suddenly found myself among several Me
109s, which I had mistaken for Hurricanes. I got close to one and attacked
from behind, slightly to starboard allowing for deflection. The 'E'
immediately put his nose down and I saw him burst into flames. I did not
see him crash as I was myself hit from the rear. However the Me was
burning fiercely and must have crashed.'
