Re: USAAF losses in June-August 1944
This may have been the first daylight battle between Luftwaffe single-engine fighters and RAF four-engine heavy bombers since 1942.
ADI(K) Report No. 109/1945: Attack on RAF Day Bombers: 12th December 1944, 19 February 1945 [US National Archives RG 165 Entry 79 Box 21] stated that the 12 December events were the first such daylight combat involving Bf 109s and RAF heavy bombers since 1942.
