Re: Bf 109 G-6, WerkNr. 441 744

Hello, Jochen.

Saw this thread and tried to pinpoint the loss date, and I am curious about what you have come up with.

According to my notes the only possible dates where an aircraft were lost - but no pilot information is known - on an operational flight - was the following:

1 aircraft lost in aerial combat on July 26th (the other two listed as missing should have an NVM)

1 aircraft listed as missing on July 23rd - but no personnel loss filed (returned to unit before NVM generated??)

1 aircraft listed as lost due to aerial combat on July 14th.

1 aircraft (my main contender) listed as destroyed by AA on July 12th. 3 aircraft listed as lost this day - only 2 personnel listed as missing.

There are also 3 aircraft (out of 5 total on this day) listed as lost on July 9th - with only one crew member listed as WIA - so there are two losses with no NVM here.

So a few to choose between - but not that many.

Regards,
Andreas B
