Re: 02Apr45 USAAF & VVS dogfight
The only P-38 claims by the USAAF in the ETO or the MTO is a Me-109 by 1st/Lt Samuel H Lyons between 1520 and 1530, and a Me-109 probable by 1st/Lt Thomas J Newell at 1530. Both are listed as vicinity of Eggenburg, 48-33N, 15-45E. Eggenburg is in NE Austria, near the Czech border; and the time doesn't match the 11:05 local time given in Gabor's post. So possibly the combat was not reported.
Enjoy!
Frank.
