Summary[edit]

Description The German Junkers Ju 90/0007 (serial J4+JH) of Lufttransportstaffel 290 turns for the land as it comes under cannon attack from a Royal Air Force Martin Marauder piloted by Wing Commander W.S.G Maydwell, the Commanding Officer of No. 14 Squadron, off Bastia, Corsica on 22 July 1943. Maydwell and his crew, who had taken off from Protville, Tunisia, on a low-level reconnaissance sortie over the Tyrrhenian Sea, continued to attack the Ju 90 until they were shot at by the Corsican coastal defences and forced to break off. The Ju 90 crash-landed in Bastia and exploded shortly afterwards.
