Hi
From an old 2005 thread on the excellent LEMB .....

'These Ju-87 are the II./SG103 (Pilotage School based at METZ-FRESCATY. Combat near Chartres on 06 June 1944 at 21H00.'

'The 354FS and 357FS combined with two pilots from 339th who tacked on to 355th, shot down (claimed) 15-2-5 between Janville and Chartres. The fight started about 2105 for the 354FS and 2058 for the 357FS.'


' The Ju87's were intercepted above Chartres, 5 planes destroyed and 4 damaged.

Among the destroyed Stukas : one Ju87A (model of the Spanish civil war) and two Ju87C (aircraft carrier version).

Among the damaged planes : one Ju87H and the Ju87V3 (pilot Lt Max Skupin) ! '


off interest two days later.

Osprey Aviation Elite Units 13 - Luftwaffe Schlachtgruppen - John Weal,

mentions 08 june 44 , SG101 having to send 12 ju-87's to a forward landing ground in normandy, apparently only one made it, ( presumably 11 crashed/shot down ? )


Cheers
