Re: Maj Kurt Buhlingen's P-47 victory on June 6,1944
According to Jagdfliegerverbände Vol. 13/III page 214 on 6 June 1944 a Fw 190 formation (50 aircraft) of Stab/JG 2, I./JG 2 and III./JG 2 encountered numerous P-47 and Typhoons (RAF Sqn 183 and 184) shortly before 12 o’clock in the area east of Caen. The JG 2 units claimed 2 P-47 and 4 Typhoons between 11:57 and 12:16.
Details in Jagdfliegerverbände Vol. 13/IV:
11:57 P-47 Maj Kurt Bühligen Stab/JG 2
12.10 Typhoon Gefr Manfred Fieseler 10./JG 2
12:14 Typhoon Hptm Herbert Huppertz Stab III./JG 2
12:15 Typhoon Hptm Herbert Huppertz Stab III./JG 2
12.15 Typhoon Ofw Ludwig Hartmann 4./JG 2
12:16 P-47Uffz Romuald Nistler 2./JG 2.
So on 6 June 1944 Maj Bühligen flew a Fw 190 and claimed a P-47.
