Re: Kg51 "edelweiss" the complete history of kg 51 in world war ii".
Ian McLachlan and Russel Zorn's Eighth Air Force Bomber Stories describes an attack near Mendelsham Air Base Suffolk on June 7, 1944 by KG51 taking down four B-24s as they approached the base following a mission. Mentioned in the story is the April 22, 1944 attack in which 14 Liberators were destroyed by KG51. No mention of Luftwaffe pilots names.
