Wilhelm Mayer



On 18 February 1944, 7./JG 26 was ordered to scramble from Grevillers to intercept a British formation of 15 Mosquito twin-engined bombers escorted by eight Typhoon fighters implementing Operation Jericho, the attack on the Amiens prison to aid the escape of Resistance members held there. The formation was intercepted as it came off its bombing run. Mayer shot down the Mosquito flown by the officer commanding the mission, Group Captain Charles Pickard for his 13th victory.
