On this day, 6 flying Fortress have been destroyed during a raid on Dresden by Me 262 from Jg 7 Specially, I'm looking for details about the identities of these german pilots who 've destroyed these B 17 ? Fred |

JG 7
John,
The source of this infi is "Osprey combat aircraft" B 17 FLYING FORTRESS UNITS - The 8 th AIR FORCE (part 2) - Martin Bowman P. 80 "16 april saw général Spaatz announce an end to the strategic mission o the 8th AIR FORCE, and only some tactical missions now remained. The following day, Dresden was bombed by almost 1 000 aircraft. Eight B 17s and 17 fighters were shot down, including six B.17 by Me 262 of Jg 7". (...) Good evening ... Fred |
JV 44 apparently claimed a number of B-17s on the 16th. Go to Ruy's Sticky-FAQ. There is a link on that thread to known 1945 LW claims.

date in April 45
Gentlemen the April date is incorrect. It is the 17th of the month........I./JG 7 scored at least 3 kills and also III./JG 7 was in action and followed back to bases towards Prague where quite a bit of P-51 activity occurred.
