Re: 1/JG77 Gustav-Wilhelm Ohmert shootdowns 11 Nov 43/19 Dec 43

Andrew, many thanks....that is extremely helpful and fills a lot of gaps....thank you for taking the time to research and post that

I've also had some help from our mutual friend DL and a friend of mine at the 72 Sqn association.

11 Nov 43 shootdown: BF109G6 wr160071 made at Messerschmitt Regensburg in Aug 43 coded White 2+ (my mistake earlier saying yellow!).

19 Dec 43 shootdown: BF109G6 wr140032 made by WNF, coded White 14+ and Ohmert confirmed as WIA near Frosinone. On the 19th in the afternoon, 72 Sqn pilot Flt Lt Hussey in JL384 RN:B shot down one FW190 and damaged another on a bomber escort to Acre (surely not?). Sgt Pullan in MA444 RN:B damaged another.

Anyway, hope that is of interest to someone, if not then just me! I'm investigating the 111 Sqn claims as I suspect they are the likelier of the two. Thanks again for your input chaps, much appreciated.
