Dear friends,

please, who has more details about the air-to-air losses on 16 April 1945 over Bavaria?
One Bf 109 crashed near Kirchenthumbach, two others near Heuberg (both locations are close Nürnberg/Nurenberg, North Bavaria).
Perhaps all three events, or one of them, are related to the claims of Capt. Ernest E. Bankey Jr. of 364. FG (according to the 8th AF Intops Summary, he shot down two Bf 109s over Deinengen airfield / according to Frank Olynyk: at 16.40 he shot down two Bf 109s over Nordingen A/F)
Do these events correspond to any known losses on the Luftwaffe?

Thanks, Jan
