Yes, he got away. Basically.. He was followed by 2 109's, twisted and turned, "nearly hitting the water on several occasions" used his boost cut, one of the 109's dived on him from the side, Lane turned into him, fired his remaining ammo, hit the 109 at very close range, the 109 went straight into the sea, the second one wasn't fast enough to catch up with him. He landed safely but badly shaken!

He survived the BoB but never came back from a mission in December '42.. He was last seen giving chase to two Focke-Wulf 190 fighters. Listed as MIA
