What instructor pilot downed Chuck Yeager on 5 Mar 44?
Jagdgruppe West and JG 101 defended against a raid by 8th Air Force B-24s on Bergerac, Cognac, and other airfields in southwestern France on 5 March 1944. Lt. Chuck Yeager of the 357th FG was shot down by a Fw 190 near one of these airfields, evaded capture and reached Spain, but I have never turned up a claim for his P-51. Does anyone have a clue? While I have you, does anyone have any information on the losses and other claims of these two training units on this date?
Horrido! (woops, that should be Tallyho!)
