Re: List of USAAF victories against FW 190s in 1943
Andrew, I dont seem to have that email you sent. Wonder where it went? I will recheck soonest. I think that all units had good days and not so good when it came to accurate claims. II/JG 51 for example, claimed four P-38s on 28 December between 1500 and 1530 hours near Pont du Fahs (according to p. 11 of Die Jagdfliegerverbande der Deutschen Luftwaffe Teil 8/II), whereas the only American loss is Lt Frank P. Mullinax of the 49th FS/14th FG. That must have been a confusing fight since II/JG 51 also tangled with 111 Squadron about the same time and location. The Italian material should be arriving sometime in early April as it takes a month for the National Archives to copy microfilm and mail it off. Must be due to the backlog. Then I will have to keep my fingers crossed that the material contains some good loss data.
Sincerely,
Mark
