I then broke off my attack... 2nd Combat After the first attack I went around in a defensive circle at about 8400 feet until I spotted an FW 190 which I immediately attacked from 250 yards down to 100 yards and from 30° to line astern I saw strikes over cockpit and to the rear of the fuselage, it burst into flames from the engine back and as I passed very close over top of it I saw the pilot slumped over in his cockpit, which was also in flames... 3rd Combat My third attack followed immediately on the 2nd.
Quelques balles ont toutefois atteint leur cible, car une fumée blanche s’échappe du moteur de gauche, et le pilote allemand saute en parachute. Environ une heure plus tard, à la B88 de Heesch, aux Pays-Bas, une longue file d’aviateurs en train d’attendre leur réveillon courent se mettre à couvert lorsque le capitaine d’aviation Jack Boyle, du 411e Escadron (ARC), abat un autre Me 262 « juste au-dessus de la base ».
