================================================================

Historical background: The first Spitfire versus BF 109 combat.

"On 23 May 1940 Deere took part in a daring rescue operation. He and Pilot Officer Allen escorted their flight commander, James Leathart, to France where he was to land a Miles Master trainer and pick up the CO of 74 Squadron who had made a forced landing on the airfield at Calais-Marck. The pick-up was made, with Allen watching from 8000 feet and Deere circling at low level. An approaching formation of Bf 109s was spotted by Allen as the Master taxied out for take-off.

As the Bf 109s began their attack Deere singled one out, fired a short burst and sent it crashing into the sea. Deere, climbing to help Allen, crossed the path of two more109s, one of which turned towards him. Deere also turned, firing at the second one, which rolled over and dived away. Pursuing the first at treetop level, he fired off his remaining ammunition before the German escaped.

Heading back  towards the coast Deere called up Allen and was relieved to hear him answer. In the interim the Master had taken off and headed for Hornchurch. In the action three Bf 109s had been shot down and three others severely damaged.

Later that day, Deere shot down another Bf109. The following day, he shot down a Bf110 and then two more on the 26th May, making him an ace."
