Re: II/JG3 claims and Allied losses
The loss was Lt. Quentin Charlton of the 83rd Fighter Squadron, 78th Fighter Group. Reported to have been seen losing fuel over Walcheren and bailed out 25 miles of Manston where he apparently drowned. Claims were made by two pilots of 352nd Fighter Squadron, 353rd Fighter Group: Capt. Charles J. Hoey claimed a Me 109 destroyed Southwest of Utrecht and Lt. Jesse W. Gonnam claimed a Me 109 destroyed near Schoonhaven. The crash-landed P-47 was from the 336th Fighter Squadron, 4th Fighter Group, pilot Lt. Conrad C. Ingold.
