scored two and one half victories while flying with the 361 st Fighter Squadron. On this date, the

356th Dew a penetration support and ran into over 100 enemy fighters in the Celle-Quackenbruck-

Hanover area. Thwaites and his wingman took on 25·plus Fw 190s that were attacking some B~24s,

and in a matter of minutes he had shot down one Focke- Wulf and damaged another three.
