Re: Info On Adolf Galland B-17 Downing April 21, 1945

Interesting site, Ross. Thanks.

However, I think there is an error. It states that JV 44 was "the world's first operational jet fighter unit". I think this honor belongs to Nowotny's unit in the fall of 1944 even though it only lasted a short time. Then came JG 7 which was formed in Dec/Jan '45 and was flying operations long before JV 44, which was not even formed until Apr '45.
