Re: 3 109s claimed by Mustangs 27 May '44
II/JG53 lost 4 ME109s. II/JG27 lost 6. They intercepted a box of B17s and their P51 escort "southeast of Nancy".
I/JG5 reported it lost 7 pilots (not clear if KIA or WIA nor how many a/c).
III/JG3 lost 7 a/c and 3 pilots KIA. One of the KIA pilots had recorded 13 victories. He crashed near Gerardmer. Prien's unit history described the action as occuring around Colmar-Gerardmer area.
