Are details known for the loss of a He 177 shot down while on a transfer flight on the morning of 5th July 1944 by P-38s of 20th FG . From a Flypast article ( June 2024) by Chris Goss the pilot was Hugo Müller of 4/KG 40 and it crashed at Chateauneuf-sur-Charente . The victory was shared by Lt Col Herbert Johnson CO of 20th FG and Lt James Reynolds .

I have details of four operational losses of II/KG 40 for the 4/5th July while the Griehl/Dressel book also shows werk nummer 550255 lost to enemy action on the 5th July ,

Thanks
