February 9th 1944. Off the Mediterranean
coast of France, Bob Hoover's Spitfire is struck by a remarkable
deflection shot from a Focke Wulf 190 flown by 2nd Lt. Siegfried
Lemke. Hoover's Spitfire began to break up, forcing him to bale
out, he was picked up by the Germans and spent the remainder
of the war in a P.O.W. camp. |
