Re: Jagdgeschwader 1 / 9. Staffel / 22. April, 1944

Hello.

The best source would be the unit histories by Jochen Prien and Eric Mombeek in my opinion.

The pilots mentioned as lost is as stated by kb, here you have the loss records as they are entered in my database. Pleas note that I have written the loss percentages as 55 - 100% as these are the ones that would be covered by a so-called Totalverlust, and even if the possibility is high that all these aircraft were total scrap, we can not be sure (OK, ok... I am a sick person!):

The III. Gruppe was entangled in a hard dogfight with the P-51's and the Gruppe as a total lost 14 aircraft this day, 12 of them in this dogfight! (Jochen Prien list 15, 12 of them in combat, and 3 non-combat, I have not found evidence of the last non-combat loss in contemporate records, but Jochen might have other sources I have not yet seen for this last one)

Best regards,
Andreas B
