Looking for information on the downing of two 360th FS 356th FG aircraft in the Bonn area on the 25th Dec 1944.
After the 360th engaged 30 + FW-190's south of Bonn, one aircraft piloted by Lt Andrino crashed at 11:25 3Km south of Marialinden when his wing struck a tree while chasing an FW-190. The second piloted by Lt Heubner crashed at Bad Godesberg at approximately the same time.

I understand fom Les Butlers claims website that four claims were made by JG3 for P-51 aircraft, were these in the Bonn area or were there other units that may have been involved?

Is there a JG3 unit historian that may be able to assist me check if these incidents are related?

Would a Luftwaffe pilot be able to claim a P-51 if it crashed whilst chasing him?

Shaun.
