JG 54 losses on 29 December 1943
 

On this date, the summary of Luftwaffe losses show for 5. and 6./JG 54 (that reported as a "Group" during this time period their losses together, independently of II./JG 54):
_ 3 aircraft destroyed by enemy infantry fire during operations
_ 1 aircraft damaged without enemy action during an operational flight
_ 1 aircraft destroyed and two damaged without enemy action on non-operational flight

Rosipal JG 54 loss list has only one loss this day, Lt Albin Wolf of 6./JG 54, then allready a 100+ victory ace, was wounded when his Fw 190 A-6 WNr 531087 "yellow 4" overturned during an emergency landing. No location or damage percentage is given. According to his Wikipedia page Wolf crash landed on a transfer flight on 29 December 1943 and was severely wounded.

I will be interested to have more details about the JG 54 losses this day.

Thanks in advance

The material losse were obviously reported in January 1944 and therefore GQM loss info is not available.
