the intruder down into the sea-
They were officially credited with
downing the German plane after
other pilots attacked unsuccessfully,

Nazi plane bagged by Americans in
the European theater of operations.
Gondon observers had credited
Second 1t. Samuel S. Junkin of

first regular United States air.
man to shoot down a German
plane. That occurred August 10
in the action over Dieppe during
the Commando raid. The date
of the air victory in the Iceland
area was not given. but occurred
sometime after August g.
The German bomber had Just
concluded an unsuccessful attack on
a ship at sea and was headed for
Reykjavik when Intercepted.
Bomber Explodes i'm Air.
American flyers, in their first
aerial combat with hostile aircraft
after year in Iceland, played hide
and-seek with the interloper for 10
minutes in the dense, low-hanging
clouds before Lit. Shaffer and 1t.
Shahan got clase enough to attack.
The German bomber exploded in
the air and the crew was killed
One American plane was damaged
slightly in the clash, but all the
attackers got home safely.
1t. Shahan and his squadron
commander got the first crack at the
German. Both scored hits, but the
bomber was not fatally damaged and
disappeared in a cloud. 1t Shaffer
and another pilot next sighted the
Focke-Wulf.
The Army citation said, Despite
heavy enemy fire Shaffer continued
the attack until he was only 100
feet from the bomber and disabled
1t to such degree as to insure its
destruction and final victory"
Il was so close" 1t. Shaffer said,
"that had to zoom up quickly to
avoid crashing into him. AS I went
over I gave him a burst with all

Those Germans pumped every

The bomber was blazing fiercely
along the belly and exploded when
down to about 200 feet.
The four flyers who got into firing
position figured they used up 1890
rounds.
The victim was the first Nazi
