I see the claims of a WW 1 pilot are being examined on another thread…..
I was unaware of von Werra’s claim to have destroyed nine planes in one sortie in WW 2. Does anyone know which airfield he claims to have attacked on 28/8/40 and are any of his claims that day verified or likely ?

Wasn’t Von Werra a bit of a `story teller`.
I don’t think he lied about his claims, more told a few tall stories.
His personality was how he managed to talk his way into an RAF base and almost steal a Hurricane.

A small piece on show in the Romney Marsh Wartime Collection Brenzett.
If I remember well,an oilgauger in the Battle of Britain Museum Hawkinge.

What actually happened to Von Werra’s ‘109 E that he made the forced landing in, did much of it survive?
