Re: USA Mustang claims 16 Oct 44
Görlitz is east of Dresden, so given the accuracy of WWII claims (no GPS then), the opponents of II/JG 3 might well have been the 319th FS pilots.
It was a bad day for JG 3 with the following losses:
I./JG 3: two combat losses
II./JG 3: three combat losses, one accident loss, one aircraft damaged without enemy action
IV./JG 3: one combat loss, two aircraft damaged without enemy action
The Fw 190 of IV./JG 3 were usually covered by the Bf 109 of the other groups, so the claims of 319th FS on a mix of Fw 190 and Bf 109 may well have been done against a formation of JG 3.
