Egon Mayer was a GREAT fighter pilot. First to get 100 victories against English/US on Channel Front. Pioneered head on attacks against B-17's and 24's - the most effective attack mode. KIA on 2 March, 1944 by a 355FG P-47 shooting a long range, high deflection shot blowing off his left wing. Regards, Bill Marshall
