On April 21, 1945 at 9 a.m. the 397th Squadron, 368th Fighter Group, 9th USAAF conducted what was likely to be tha last air strike on the modern airdrome in Cheb (Eger). The following six pilots shared the total score of six destroyed and one damaged ground kills:
Capt. Edward W. Dame: 1 dest. U/I training aircraft and 1/2 dest. Me 410
1/Lt Henry A. Yandel: 1 dest. Do 217 and 1 dam. He 111
1/Lt Clifford J. Price: 1 dest. Do 217
?/Lt Les Leavoy: 1 dest. Do 217
?/Lt Hunt: 1 dest. Do 217
2/Lt Robert V. Arrington: 1/2 dest. Me 410
BTW, 1/Lt Yandel shot down a Me 262 after it got airborne from the Ruzyne A/D on April 16, 1945.
What we makes this story more interesting is narration of Mr, Price, which was aired within the HBO Memorial Living project in 2001. He said: It was always hazardous attacking airfields, because they were usually ringed with flak guns. On normal strafing runs, we would fly at around 325 miles per hour, but for airfields we would fly at over 500 miles per hour. At an airfield in Czechoslovakia I came in on four DO217 bombers, which were being loaded with V1 rockets on the wings. I was in perfect position so my single strafing run destroyed all four bombers, plus an ME109 fighter. I was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for that mission.
BTW, his name is not included in the official list of DFC holders...
Mr. Price, resident of Edgerton, Wisconsin, passed away in Madison, Wisconsin on January 16, 2009 at the age of 86.
There is no mention of any Do 217 carrying V-1 in the mission report ofthe 397th Squadron – 1/Lt Price may have spotted radio-controlled glide bomb Henschel Hs 323. It was originally designed for attacks against ships but was also used against bridges in the Normandy campaign. As Jafü Mittelrhein pointed out in the Axis History discussion forum the only Luftwaffe combat unit in which bombers (Heinkel He 111s) carring V-1s saw action was Kampfgeschwader 53 (KG 53). However, there is no evidence that it was based in Cheb in April 1945.
