Looking at the range of WNrs lost, it is possible that some were AS conversions but simply not listed that way.

John, the first "hohe gruppe" to receive the G-6/AS series was II/JG 11, which flew their first operational sortie in the type on 29 April. I/JG3 was reequipped with them in May; their first losses in the type appear on 30 May 1944.
