Re: I/JG 54 losses on the 01 Aug 44 at Latvia

I./JG 54 only loss this day according to the summary of Luftwaffe losses was an aircraft "damaged by gunfire from enemy aircraft during operational flight, not observed by enemy".

II./JG 54 lost two aircraft "destroyed by gunfire from enemy aircraft during operational flight, observed by enemy". Uffz. Heinrich Schlömann (Fw 190 A-6 531056) and Uffz. Hans Weinbergmair (Fw 190 A-6 550514), both of 4./JG 54, were posted missing during an air battle over the Gulf of Finland (I don't know if they were lost in the same fight).

SG 4 was active in the general area with Fw 190s and reported:
_ for I./SG 4 one aircraft "destroyed by anti-aircraft artillery during operational flight"
_ for II./SG 4 one aircraft "destroyed by anti-aircraft artillery during operational flight", one aircraft "destroyed without enemy action on operational flight", one aircraft "destroyed without enemy action on non-operational flight" and two aircraft "damaged by gunfire from enemy aircraft during operational flight, not observed by enemy".

So both I./JG 54 and II./SG 4 had Fw 190s damaged in air battles, but none was lost.
