Maybe this Bf 110 had a mid-air collision with an upside down S.M.79? Complete with windshield?

OkayThat is of course your right on the internet and this forum, however please stop using your recollections of his recollections as a source of discussion winning argument.
Really? Please share your knowledge. You reply above shows that you have no answer to all that I have posted. Speaks volumes.Okay
Vasco: To put it bluntly to you: I know more about the type than you have ever known and ever will know!
Okay

I can only agree.Just a thought, if someone's father flew the Bf-110 in WWII, and that person found a forum frequented by bona fide experts, then meets someone that (in my humble opinion) is probably the most knowledgeable person on said Bf-110, I'd:
Immediately try to find out more about my fathers unit from someone who obviously knows unit histories inside and out.
Probably be motivated to share any and all information (you can Private MessageJohn Vasco to keep names out of the forum) to see if I can learn more.
Also I don't think I'd challenge someone that has done the research over decades with memories of what you saw years ago in a scrap book and perhaps some stories from your father.
This isn't a knock on J Jagdflieger just an observation. I don't see why you sound so offended by some of John's posts, I would think this is a great opportunity for you to learn more about what your father did and have a better understanding of what he went through at that time.
Fortunately I had a father and uncle that were avid diarists and so have a pretty good insight into their thoughts and experiences in both the ETO and the PTO. What I DON'T have however, is official records that detail day to day operations and losses etc.
Sorry, I don't mean to overstep any boundaries but I really don't like to see opportunities like this wasted, it seems J Jagdflieger has a great chance to learn about a signature moment in his fathers life.
Well ... one cant say you didnt try. I know your work from a few books i have. Not to say observations here and other boards. Cant remember a challenge that went the other corner.I can only agree.
At every turn, I have given the guy the correct information after he posted incorrect stuff.
As you say, I could almost certainly help fill in some gaps re his father's service, but he was not forthcoming at all.
That offer is still there, but I don't think he will take it up.
That's why I had reservations about the guy's bona fides, as nothing of any substance came back to me. I give of my time and information on here to help others gain a little bit more knowledge, that's all.

Next time if anyone opposes my opinions I am going to post:Well ... one cant say you didnt try. I know your work from a few books i have. Not to say observations here and other boards. Cant remember a challenge that went the other corner.
