3 109s claimed by Mustangs 27 May '44

On 27 May '44 Bud Anderson and his flgiht or 4 Mustangs were engaged initially by 4 109s. The 4 P-51s got the advantage and 3 109s ran while 1 climbed.

Anderson and his wingman (Skara) chased after the 3 running, the other 2 Mustangs went after the lone 109 that climbed.

The lone 109 was shot down, Anderson shot down 2 other 109s and the fourth 109 got away.

Andersons victory lists shows the 2 109s he claimed as shot down 'northwest of Strasbourg'.

You can read a version of this engagement here.

I am looking to identify the pilots and unit of the 3 lost 109s.

Thanks,

Wotan
