B-17 Losses NW Antwerp 5 Nov 43
I am trying to identify 2 x B-17s claimed at 1426 and 1436 hrs on the above date. So far, my German records show a B-17 at Isigny, 1415 hrs (matches with claims by 2/JG 2), at B-24 at 1425 hrs in 'KK', a B-17 to Flak 8 kms SE Breskens, 1430 hrs (which matches also with claims by II/JG 1) and a 'viermot' at Vierlingsbeek, 1400 hrs. From what I can see, there were losses suffered by 332 BS/94 BG, 418 BS/100 BG, 359 BS/303 BG, 571 BS/390 BG, 327 BS/92 BG, 560 BS/388 BG and 563 BS/388 BG. German fighters claimed 10 B-17s between 1354 hrs & 1436 hrs
