Re: 14 July 1944 Herbert Ihlefeld claims Mustang
According to J.B. Frappé's book "La Luftwaffe face au débarquement allié", p.96, 6 planes from I./JG1 and II./JG1 met at about 9hPM about 6 P51 (and 6 P47). German fighters claimed for one air victory (for Fw Bindseil (6.staffel) (west of Isigny) but lost Uffz Stromeyer (I./JG1).
But on a general listing (end of the book) it is written that the following pilots claimed for one kill against Mustang on july 14 :
19 h 17 PM Obslt Ihlefeld claimed for one Mustang near Caen
19 h 19 PM Obslt Ihlefeld claimed for one spitfire near Caen
19 h 17 PM Hpt Grislawski (III.JG1) claimed for one Mustang near Falaise
??????????? Uffz Vogel (III.JG1) claimed for one Mustang ?
Good luck.
