August 07,1944 Abschusss Identified
In Theo Boiten's book " Nachtjagd War Diaries Volume Two" , on August7,1944, Lt Erich Jung, 6/NJG-2 claimed a P-38 or a P-61 shot down in the Avranches-Granville area at 0231. The notation is that no P-61 were lost on this night. It now appears that the loss was an USAAF flown " Mickey" DH Mosquito, NS311, flown by Lt. Thompson and Lt. Edgar. Both crewmen were KIA. Mickey missions were H2X photography at night.
