For some particular reason, unable to 'copy & paste' link, however......

Google 'Mustang Chases BF-109 Under Eiffel Tower',

and read how Capt William Overstreet, in his P-51B, named 'Berlin Express', in the Spring of '44, chased and caught a BF-109 which flew under the Eiffel Tower in an attempted escape manoeuver......was followed 'on his tail' by the Mustang...... and shot down.

The item doesn't say if any civilians were killed by 'stray' 50 cal. bullets spraying all over the place....
