14 July 1944 Herbert Ihlefeld claims Mustang
My Dad was flying a Mustang 14 July 1944 south of Caan France at 1900-1930 hrs. with another Mustang when they were attacked by Bf 109 and Fw 190 a/c. I recently learned that my Dad was shot down by Oberstleutnant Herbert Ihlefeld at 1917 hrs that day. I am looking for some documentation of this, possibly with his mention or JG 1 mention. My Dad evaded capture for 6 weeks with the help of the Maquis.
