Re: I./JG27 Losses - 23 May 1940
There were five 109s from I./JG 27 lost that day either 100% or damaged. The only one with a marking was a sw. 4 by Ltn Keller w/ 30% damage. This may not even be one as I do not know the location of Hirson. The other four were not listed with their markings, a common clerical ommission in these days.
I would suggest you consult After The Battle's The Battle of France by Peter Cornwell, and Jochen Prien's Die Jagdfliegerverbände, III, p.246, both frequent visitors to this Board.
