Hello all,

On 27 Jul 44, the 474th FG was on a mission to the Saumur-Parthenay-Poitiers-Tours area when they were attacked by a group of Bf109s of an unknown group. The action took place at 10,000 feet over the French town of Vaiges, 10 miles east of Laval. The 428th FS reported being jumped by four Bf109s while the 429th FS reported being jumped by twenty-five plus Bf109s. Time of the incident was 1530 hours. I think the Luftwaffe outfit may have been 2./JG 27, but I am not sure. Can anyone confirm? Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Gary Koch
