Re: Alex (Sandy) Wheeler
There is some conflicting information about the three Bf109s claimed by 19 Squadron on their combat on August 27,1944. The one Bf109 lost on this date was lost by I/JG-4 in a takeoff accident. Possibly the Mustangs of 19 Sq. were in combat with Bf109s of III/JG-27 which reported two Mustangs as victories in the same locality (E of Rouen). No 19 Sq Mustangs were lost in this action. Also, no III/JG-27 casualties, either.
