Re: ID of Ju 88 lost on 18th August 1944 near Le Puy
Salut Gilles!
Officially he was only credited with 2 victories...but he claimed 4....but am not sure if those other two were on the ground or "aerial".
I tried to find any II/KG 26 "NVM" for this date, but was unlucky.
I thought initially that it could also be a French machine "borrowed" by the LW, which was not the case....the problem is that his wingman's victory was recorded at 08:00hs AM...near Orgon...which I believe could be "Orion De L'Adreyt" which fits more to the "picture", some 70 km to the East of Le Puy and close to Valence...the former base of II/KG 26....
Maybe we got a clue after the 20th December....let's cross fingers!
Salutations,
Adriano
