Re: USAAF claims on 29 July 1944 over France

Hello Pierre,

according to the excellent book "USAAF (European Theater) Credits for the Destruction of Enemy Aircraft in Air-To-Air Combat" by Frank Olynyk, the only USAAF claims in France that day are:
1 Me-109 dam. Savray area (Gavray?) 19:00 by Lt/Col. Leo C. Moon 404FG
2 FW-190 dam. Savray area (Gavray?) 19:05 by 2/Lt. John W. Wainwright 508FS-404FG

Probably US pilots were facing the FW-190s of the I and II JG1, which claimed 2 P-47 at Villedieu-Les-Poeles at 19:08.


Cheers
Marco
