Re: Identity of Me262 unit claiming two Lancasters
Chris,
I assume you're refering to "The Me262 Combat Diary" by Foreman/Harvey (1995).
I can't see where it mentions III/JG-7. What my copy says is "...fifteen to twenty Me 262s and attacked going through the bombers at high speed shooting down Lancasters of 101 Squadron flown by Flying Officer Little and Flight Lieutenant Patterson before the Mustangs could intervene; a third Lancaster was damaged." No mention of the unit except for a "I/JG-7" mention. Later, there is mention of bombers of the 15th AF and Major Ehler claimed two Liberators shot down and Ofw Reinhold a Fortress probably destroyed.
