Re: Victory claim of 15 TRS over Fw 190 06-06-1944
There were two combats by the 15th that day. One at 1225 at Dreux A/F, when 1stLt Joseph E Conklin claimed one FW-190. The second was between 1720 and 2020, when 1stLt Clyde B East claimed a FW-190 at Laval, and 2ndLt Ernest M Schonard claimed 1/0/1 FW-190 east of Laval. My reference for these is the 9th TAC VCB report #20, and the unit's daily Operational Report. Both of these I found at the USAFHRA at Maxwell AFB.
I have never found combat reports for these claims. 9th AF combat reports are somewhat rare. Some units are well represented, others hardly at all.
Enjoy!
Frank.
