Seeking losses of RAF Mustang's on 27th September 1944
Hi,
Am seeking details of losses of RAF Mustang a/c lost on the 27th September 1944. There are shown on the Tony Woods excelent site at least nine claims , all in the a.m. The US losses seem only to have been three a/c . Firstly I wondered what losses there may have been in the pm and then just how many in all would perhaps have been RAF losses. Many thanks for your replies Alex |

According to Shores 2nd TAF book
Mustang losses FR936 2 Sqn 0730 Flak NE Geldermalsen (Shores suggested Humburg of JG 26 may have claimed it too) FR895 2 Sqn 1630 hit by Flak, force-landed W Antwerp (so in Allied territory) Mustang Claims One Fw 190 damaged by 19 Sqn 1630 E of Nijmegen One Bf 109 shot down by 122 Sqn 1745 near Nijmegen This book is not describing claims and losses of ADGB units, only 2nd TAF, so may miss some Mustang losses/claims |

306 Sqn lost a Mustang III FZ196 'D' flown by Flt Sgt T J Koloszczyk (KIA) on Ramrod 1297 to Emmerich in the morning of the 27 September 1944.
