Re: 27 Jul 44 Luftwaffe Action in France
Merci beaucoup, Pierre for your information. All my sources show that only two P-38s were lost on 27 Jul 44 and both were from the 474th FG. I am fairly certain that the JG 27 claims are for these two P-38 losses despite the fact that both P-38s were lost due to a mid-air collision with each other and not due to enemy fire. I have one other concern and that has to do with the location of the actual P-38 crash sites versus the location of the JG 27 claims. I do know from French witnesses in the area that both 474th P-38s did go down very close to Vaiges. I am concerned that the JG 27 claims were made a significant distance from Vaiges. I will keep researching. Let me know if you come across any other sources. Again, Merci Beaucoup for your help!
A bientot, Gary Koch
