Re: JV 44 - First combat loss: April 5th OR 8th ?
Just a side note, the "reconnaissance aircraft" downed on April 4, 1945 was actually a
P-38J, s/n 44-25761, 14th FG flown by Lt. William Randle who was taken POW. A flight of the 14th FG , 49th FS was escorting an F-5 when they were attacked by JV-44. He was downed by Uffz. Schallmoser through an collision. Schallmoser's Me-262 was only lightly damaged in the encounter
