I was flying on Major Joel's
wing escorting 2 boxes B-24's. We were covering 2 straggling B24's, behind
the first box, at about 3000 ft. above the stragglers. We saw 4 FW190's
going up for an attack on the stragglers on the port side. We peeled off
to the left to break up the attack. The first E/A saw us coming and half
rolled and dove away. The 4th FW190 apparently in an aggressive mood,
came straight on at me. I met him head-on at about 11 o'clock from him,
I opened fire at about 400 yds. range holding fire until he was about
75 yds. (about 2,3-second bursts) observing strikes on his left engine
cowl and fuselage. He passed me doing a very slow roll to the right, I
then lost sight of him. We then zoomed back up above the straggling bombers.
The FW190 had a yellow cowl. The underside of its wings were painted white
with red crosses.
