Re: 9th Airforce Operations

For November 1944, you can try this source:
http://cgsc.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/c.../id/201/rec/41

It is a very detailled chronology of operations covering all theaters in November 1944 (in five PDFs, see the right column on the screen).

For each day and sector, the chronology describes the ground operation and then the air operations. I used it for October 1944 and there were more details on the tactical work of 2nd TAF and 9th Air Force, for example, than in any other source I know.

I did not check the November 1944 files for your specific question, but I know that the air operations are still included. This is sadly no more the case for December 1944 (that is much shorter), and the files for 1945, if they exist, are not available on this website.

I checked the book "Fighter Command war diaries, part 5". For most days of November 1944, it says Fighter Command (the RAF fighters units still based in England) escorted RAF heavy bombers to Germany, providing numbers for some days (97 Spitfires and 48 Mustangs on the 1st, for example) but say nothing of American involvement in these raids.

Best regards
