Re: 414 Squadron´s losses on 18th June 1944
Peter Clare and Bill Walker,
Many thanks for your input about the losses sustained by 414 Squadron on the afternoon of 18th July 1944. Although I have seen on some short biographies about Oblt Adolf Glunz that it is surely probable that he and his wingman claimed the Mustangs, two pilots from JG 2 also claimed Mustangs Ia on this date, but later around 20:00hs. The airmen of JG 26 claimed their victims around 17:29/17:30hs near Flers, in France. I do thank you both of you for the most valuable information I needed. I am researching some claims of Adolf Glunz and am very grateful to both of you. I already checked the airmen service number, their ages and family backgrounds. Thank you!
Yours
Adriano Baumgartner
