SURPRISE ATTACKBy Robert Taylor
Publishers Proof
Whilst attacking a B-17 formation southeast of Berlin on April 10th 1945 Oberleutnant Walter Schuck, flying his Me262 with JG7, is caught in a surprise attack by the P-51 Mustang of Flt Lt Joseph Peterburs, flying with the 20th Fighter Group.
With his aircraft hit Schuck was forced to bail out, injuring both ankles upon landing, and the war ended before he recovered. Peterburs was himself brought down later that day while strafing an airfield, evading capture for the rest of the war..
After the war Joe and Walter became friends and met several times at airshows and events around the world.
