Re: Huge Luftwaffe Victories over USAAF?
The June 26, 1943 scrap resulted in 56FG losing 5 for 2 destroyed/1 probable.
On November 1943 the 55th Fg lost 6 P-38's for 2 destroyed and 1 probable.
We talked about the 4th (above) but that day was actually a couple of separate engagements and the 4th claimed 5 destroyed for the day's losses of either 7 or 8 in the air (Fraser per above looks like he was not a 'claim by LW around 0620) and the 18th August was 9 lost for 7 destroyed - bad but not terrible considering they were suprised on the deck..
So far the most lopsided seems to be the 20th on February 11, 1944 for 8 P-38's down for 2 destroyed / 1 probable.
I've got to believe some other USAAF fighter group had a worse day than the above but haven't found it yet.
