1t. Capp's Thunderbolt fighter

ton Of heavy bombers when the
aerial battle developed near Kob-

II was flying No. 2 man." he ex-
planned. "We had crossed just about
1000 yards In front of the bombers
when we saw about 80 Fock-Wulf

bomber formation. So we broke into
the Huns, positioning ourselves
astern. My fight leader shot down
one Jerry in flames and I saw it
crack up on the side of a hill.

Bursts and strikes lit him up like

blew Of his canopy and it hit my
right wing, causing minor damage.
He broke down to the right and I
kept close one his tail, maintaining
my fire.
II broke of my combat at about
5000 feet altitude. The Nazi crashed
into the Rhine River"
To make sure he had the COM
