Re: 14 July 1944 Herbert Ihlefeld claims Mustang

It seems the Mustang victory was either due to Oblt. Grislawski or Obst Ihlefeld. The Mustangs belonged to the 67th Recon. group and was one of a pair:" Lt. Steve Canner and Cpt Rusten were on the way back from a route reconnaissance of the Mortagne area when they were jumped from above by over 50 FW-190s. The section immediately took evasive action in an attempt to lose the 190s,but Lt. Canner's P-51 was hit repeatedly by 20 mm and went down."
