Re: Victory over Jack S MacConkey 10601415 Pilot KIA P-51 43-7156 Slugger
The JG 1 claim is neither at the right time not in the right place, while Schwaiger's one is close for both. It is probable that the US witness misidentified the German fighters.
Peischl's victim might have been the P-51B-10 43-7181 of 335th FS, 4th FG that was shot down by a fighter near Hoher Meissner, roughly midway between Eisenach and Kassel. Capt Charles F Anderson, an ace with 10 victories, was killed. The MACR is listing him as lost in Brussels area but it seems it is only based on a witness who thought he saw and heard him in this location.
