Re: German Losses after 9th AF strafing April 5, 1944 on French airdrome

Larry,

I thought of something: as the Stab of the I. Gruppe and the 3./JG 105 were at Bourges (while 2./JG 105 at Chateauroux), could it be possible that all planes damaged or destroyed that day at Romorantin-Pruniers had been taken into account by the Gruppe and not by the Staffel? I consider that losses reported as having occured on the Bourges airfield (…stated by Germans) are a bit "enormous". I may be wrong but it seems to me that for only a Stab and one Staffel, that is quite a lot of planes losses. Remember, claims for 355th FG (354FS) at Bourges on April 10 are 5-0-10 on the ground.

All the best,
Frederic
