Hi,
I have analysed files from Tonny Wood web Site, and I think that Maj. Blakeslee shot down not Fw 190 from JG 1, but Bf 109 G-4 WNr. 19222 from 4./JG 54, and killed Oblt. Siegfried Graf von Matuschka (an Eastern Front ace with 29 kills).
I think that 334th Sqn of the 4th FG clashed with Fw 190s from JG 1:

334th pilots claims as below:
Lt.Col. C.G. Peterson 4th FG 334th Sqn. 1 - 0 - 0 FW 190 17.50: 12 sm. W. Ostend 24000 ft.
2/Lt. Robert A. Boock 4th FG 334th Sqn. 1 - 0 - 0 FW 190 17.50: Ostend 23000 ft.
1/Lt. James A. Clark 4th FG 334th Sqn. 0 - 0 - 1 FW 190 17.50: Ostend 16000 ft.
also time of Ofw. Ernst Heesen two claims is 17: 40

334th loss:
Capt. Stanley M. Anderson: KIA 4th FG 334th Sqn. P-47C-5 41-6407 QP-E
Capt. Richard D. McMinn: KIA 4th FG 334th Sqn. P-47C-2 41-6204 QP-M

More interesting, time of Maj. Blakeslee kill is 17:01, so about 40 minutes before !
According Germans Graf von Matuschka was killed over St. Inglevert ( Pas de Calais region, not so far from Knokke - place of Blakeslee victory), in combat with Spitfires. But in "Combats & Casualties RAF & US Fighter Commands 1943 with Annotated Text ISSUE I" file I found no trace about any Spitfire Unit mission. There was only one more air battle. Over Normandy JG 2 clashed with 247 Sqn RAF. F/Sgt. R.R. Campbell (Typhoon Ib: DN 431 ZY-V) was KIA by Ltn. Horst Hannig from 2./JG 2.

Do you have any comments about this ?
