Re: Harry Parker 325th FG
Keith A This was on mission #42 for our P-51s. Quoting from the mission report, Lt. Parker claimed 4 Me-109s destroyed and 6 Me-109s damaged. The claims for the 325th Fighter Group on that date were 17 Me-109s destroyed; 1 Me-109 probably destroyed, 11 Me-109s damaged, and 1 FW-190 destroyed. I presume the supposed FW-190 was an IAR-80?? The Me-109s had formed a Lufberry Circle while our planes made yo-yo passes all the way from 26,000 feet to the deck. At 5,000 feet, Mustangs from another group joined the fray. The 325th FG lost one Mustang.
Cordially, Art Fiedler
