killed in action in Camel B6421
found on GWF:
Lt P McCaig was flying Sopwith Camel B6421 of No 54 Sqn when he was shot down near Cambrai on 27 September 1918. He left on a Special Bombing mission at 1135 (which probably means that his flight was sent out to bomb something in particular, rather than a target of opportunity) and later became involved in combat with 10-12 enemy aircraft; B6421 was last seen spinning out of control from 2000 feet at about 1210hrs.
Three German fighter pilots were credited with a victory which may be B6421:
Ltn Hermann Vallendor of Jasta 2;
Ltn Fritz Rumey of Jasta 5; and
Ltn Ernst Bormann of Jasta 2. |
