Re: Looking for info on FW190 Nov 3 1943
 

found this interesting- it's from the 386th bomb group that flew the same mission

386th historian mentions approximately 100 enemy fighter planes from Lille- Vitry, Beauvais, and Beaumont areas reacted to the sweeps into France that day by the 386th,323rd,322nd,and 387th groups and 2 RAF fighter

says 15 fighters attacked the 322 bombers. 2 of the FW190's singled out my dad's ship and attacked simultaneously from the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock above.

I'm thinking JG2 had F190's in Beaumont at the time- not sure about Lille- Vitry or Beauvais..

Any ideas?

From
Ernest Grubb- The copilot----

evasion report says that
before Nov 1943 twin engine bombers were moved from CONCHES airport and FW 190's moved in. Ernest reported seeing heavy traffic of FW's from CONCHES and occasional saw twenty to thirty of these planes take off within an hour Nov 10-Dec 1943


So I feel that I/JG2 was the group that went after dad's plane (shown number 763 on left hand side of page)
