Re: August 07,1944 Abschusss Identified
the OKL Fighter Claims list say P-38, not P-61! OLtn. Erich Jung 6,/NJG 2, P-38 QU-RT 1.800 m 12.21h, Film C. 2025/I Anerk. Nr. 85 12.21h is Daytime and QU looks not very to France!!
There was an Air Raid at Blechhammer Oil Industry and their are two P-38 losses from 15th Airforce (14FG & 82FG) over Austria bzw. Germany.
You have to be careful. There are several QU-RT co-ordinates in the world. It depends upon which map you are reading.
II/NJG2 was definitely over France in early August 1944 - see losses of Werknr 327164 and 751123 on 06.08.44
There is evidence it was near Köln later in the month
If it was a P-38 claimed in daylight then:
06.08.44
367FG
42-68154 and 42-104415 in collision with each other Beuzeville 11:45 hrs
07.08.44
367FG
42-68047 landing accident Cretteville 22:30 hrs
370FG
42-68002 lost to flak on escort Domfront-Vire 20:55 hrs
42-67970 landing gear fault, crashed Deux Jumeaux 18:30 hrs
None of these match either
