Maj Kurt Bühligen's P-47 victory on June 6, 1944

Hello Michael

Short of somebody being able to check his Flugbuch there is probably no way to confirm which aircraft he was flying on a particular occasion but considering that he was certainly flying a Fw 190 A-8 the next day when he claimed his next two victories as recorded by photographs he almost certainly was. Incidentally, according to 2nd Tactical Air Force Volume One by Shores and Thomas this claim was actually made against a Typhoon of 183 Sqn, RAF.

Horrido!

Leo
