Combat Over Beachy Head
Mickey Mount, flying his 602 Squadron MkII Spitfire, successfully attacks a
Messerschmitt Me109 low over the cliffs of Beachy Head on the south coast during
the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940. Spitfires and Me109s were so evenly
matched at this early point in the war that the outcome of such contests were
usually decided by the skill of the competing pilots. |
