Gentleman:
A belated comment, but I just recalled that in
JG 26 War Diary Volume Two, Caldwell states that the 4FG P-51 that aborted with a bad magneto and was lost on 6 6 44 is a good match for a P-51 claim SE of Caen by Oblt Kunz of I/JG 26.
Might be another small piece in a very big jigsaw puzzle.
