Tribute to Oscar Boesch by Ivan Berryman. (P)

Oscar Boesch joined the Luftwaffe in 1942 and flew his first combat mission in April 1944, crash-landing and flipping his Fw190. However, as part of a unit specialising in attacking American daylight bombing raids, he scored 18 victories in 120 missions before the end of the war. He is depicted here making a head-on attack in his Fw190A-8/R8 against American B-24 Liberators.
