Does anyone have any info on FW190 losses on 10Feb1944? My Father had claims for that day. He was flying WD-A with the 4thFG 335 sq. that day.

The bomber formation was engaged all the way from Holland to Hannover with fighter combats from 28,000ft. to the deck. From the 335FS claims it shows Lts Anderson and Schlegel shared a 109 and Lt.
