First off, I would like to thank all who have replied. Your information is most helpful in trying to decipher this "hairball" as modern day fighter pilots would call it. As for George, I do not think that any Allied aircraft (e.g. P-47s) were involved. Virtually all of my former 474th FG pilot friends still alive today were well versed in aircraft recognition. I have no doubt they could tell the difference between an Fw190 and a P-47, even in a furious fight. Bob Milliken is a good friend of mine and I've interviewed him numerous times on this fight. He knocked down 2 Fw190s with 3 more damaged in that fight and he's certain he didn't see any other Allied planes other than P-38s in the area. Anyway, thanks again to all.
Cheers, Gary
