WHILE
FLYING TURMOIL LEADER ON MISSION V89-1, 22
MARCH 1945,
I
ATTACKED THE AIRFIELD AT A9677, HANDORF,
WITH FRAG BOMBS AND
BY
STRAFING. ON MY FIRST BOMB RUN I DROPPED MY
BOMB ON A JU-88
PARKED
IN A REVETMENT CLOSE ENOUGH TO DESTROY IT.
IN SUBSEQUENT
STRAFING
PASSES, I STRAFED ONE JU-188 1/2 MILE EAST
OF THE FIELD
AND
OBSERVED MANY STRIKES ABOUT THE COCKPIT AND
ENGINES.
I SAW BOMBS OF LT CASEY AND HAYES SET A
JU-88 ON FIRE HITT-
ing
AMONG THREE E/A DESTROYING THEM. I SAW LT
HAYES SET A JU-88
AFIRE
BY STRAFING AND LT GRIM DESTROY ONE PLANE
WITH A VERY NEAR
MISS
AND LATER CAUSE A JET A/C TO EXPLODE BY
STRAFING.
I CLAIM ONE JU-88 DESTROYED AND ONE JU-188
DAMAGED.
