Victory claim of 15 TRS over Fw 190 06-06-1944
 
Estimed forum members,
I am trying to find more details about a 3-0-1 victory claim on 06-06-1944 by 15th Tactical Reconnaissance Sq / 10th TRG F-6 (P-51) over some Fw 190, over Dreux and Laval.
Would anybody have copy of the original claim ?

Would anybody have some suggestion as to which unit's Fw 190 could have been involved (SKG 10 or else ?) ?

Not SKG 10-not sure if III/SG 4 were involved? I have the details at home from both sides

There were two combats by the 15th that day. One at 1225 at Dreux A/F, when 1stLt Joseph E Conklin claimed one FW-190. The second was between 1720 and 2020, when 1stLt Clyde B East claimed a FW-190 at Laval, and 2ndLt Ernest M Schonard claimed 1/0/1 FW-190 east of Laval. My reference for these is the 9th TAC VCB report #20, and the unit's daily Operational Report. Both of these I found at the USAFHRA at Maxwell AFB.

I have never found combat reports for these claims. 9th AF combat reports are somewhat rare. Some units are well represented, others hardly at all.

Enjoy!

Frank.
