Re: 22 Aug 44 P-47 near Tours sur Marne (nr Athis)
One further thought. A large Front Repair Workshop was located at Épernay-Plivot in August 1944 (Frontreparaturbetrieb GL Épernay)
(FpN: L 19375 AG). It could be that Plivot was packed with a number of aircraft awaiting repairs or waiting to be picked up after completing repairs. There could be a connection here. The Allies knew where all of the FRBs were in France and usually tried to bomb or strafe them because of relatively large numbers of aircraft parked there.
BTW: III./JG 76 lost 41 x Bf 109 G-6/G-14s during the month of August to "enemy effect" - this is lost and damaged due to enemy action. The figure is not broken down by in the air and on the ground.
