Hannig in his book of memories remembers the action which is 99% from 7.7.1944 and he mentions his plane was also lost... three planes were damaged in combat four were damaged.destroyed on training flights. From Liegnitz took off at 10:25 hod. 11 FW 190 of 1. Staffel JGr. Ost, which at 7000 m over Breslau accompanied 24 Me 109 of 2. Staffel, which took off at 10:27 hod. from Wiedengut. Combat between 11:00 and 11:45 hod. Interesting is fact that claims were made also by 3. and 4. Staffel pilots, who must have been in the 1. or 2. staffel formation. hope it helps |
