Franek, Anders,

Thank you for both for replying.

You're right, the description of the a/c (by 4FG/336FS ace Willard Millikan does sound like a 47, but there were several in the area during that action, some of which engaged him. The second account from that day came from 4FG/336FS ace John Godfrey, and he was involved in a lengthy dogfight with one of those "long noses" (he wrote in his logbook that it was a FW290) so I don't think it could have been a mis-identified 47.

Anders,

Your note echoes what Chris posted earlier - thanks for the detailed explanation. I'll have to find out if JG1 was in the Wittenberg area on 03 March 44.

Any ideas where to start?

Thank you both again.

Tim
