Re: USAAF Pilots Who Scored Victories Over The Romanian Air Force
 

Yes, German ZG 76 has lost many Me 410A-1 and B-2 planes on June 16, 1944. Most of them crashed near the Danube, north of lake Balaton, but one crashed and exploded at Ozora, Lake Balaton south. I guess this was that. (Me 410A-1, not Me 210):

Me 410A-1, WNr: 420669, marking: "M8 black 15 + -" , crew: pilot Ofw. Grün Bernhard (KIA), gunner: FjFw. Siegfried Weinzierl (KIA) of 5./ZG 76.

Cheers,

Gabor perhaps you didn't understand my Q. What do your records say on why
11 P-38's engaging a single ME-210 ? what was the Luftwaffe unit operating
this aircraft ?

No idea.

Gentlemen,

Your posts are off the topic that I was trying to research. I reading a book called "Checktail Clan" It's about the 325 Fighter Group. I reading about the air battles over Bucharest in 1944 and I thought the defenders of that capital city of Romania was only the Romanian Air Force. They flew Bf-109Gs as well as their home made IAR-80s. But I was wrong. The Luftwaffe was on this too.

Sincerely,
