Re: JG 301 mission on 17 Dec 44
Don - the 354th FG got its first P-47 score (an Me 410 at Kitzingen) by Dahlglish) on the 17th and lost Tyler (Macr 10991) about 20 miles south of Aachen - presumably in very bad weather. They were nowhere near Hannover. The 354th was engaged in ground support generally from Eupen to Trier.
8th AF was standing down but I doubt that a 9th AF P-47 group was assigned to escort the 2nd BD B-24s.
I would think that the JG 301 Mustang claim had to be from one of the Recce groups.
