Reporting John Anthony Kirla about combat of 14. January 1945 (8.-11. a separate shoot)

Battle report
lt. John And. Kirla
action Type: Martial
Date: 14. January 1945
Unit: 362. fighter squadron, 357. fighter group
Time: 1240
the Location and height: northwest Berlin
Weather: visibility perfect (cavu)
Enemy: 2 FW-190 and 2 ME-109
enemy losses: 4 dead pilots
Description:

Led here a squadron of Dollar Green to escort bombers, when I noticed a large number of enemy fighters approaching with our big buddies. We dropped our tanks and clashed with the germans at a height of around 27 000 feet. I chose one FW-190 attacking the bombers and approached to about 100 yards. Before I opened fire. Sprinkled it over the entire length. I believe I killed the pilot. I followed him as he turned to the ground and exploded.

My second FW-190 was in a duel. Approached the firing range and opened fire from a distance of 400 yards, přibližujíc at 50 yards, hit him over the entire length. He began to fidget, and I followed up on the ground.

Looked around here for another target and saw the ME-109 sestřelující bomber. I went after her. He got behind his tail and přilížil at about 30 yards. Passed into a narrow barrel roll and went to the ground. Fired here a short dávko, reached hits, and he tied the score. Then I went to great lengths and sprinkled it over the entire length. He rolled over on his back and began to burn. Dogville they too fell from him, the pieces of the airframe until, finally, it was not just a skeleton. Laughed I and said, what kind of crazy machines today are sending. Much left of him when he hit the ground.

Again I looked around and spotted two ME-109 flying 180 degrees to the bombers and P-51 as follows. P-51 approached and hit the first that bandit, while the latter had slipped behind Mustangův tail. Mustang was shot down. I was in such a near distance to be able to afford a little revenge. I started to fire from 200 yards. And while I played with him. He was very scared. I'm bored, so I set my gunsight K-14 and opened fire from 50 yards. Tagged here 109 bullets. Started of him leaving pieces and sank like a falling leaf.

I'll add the destruction of two FW-190 and two ME-109 (in the air).

Consumption of ammunition: 900
