Re: 17th September 1944 - P51 versus Fw 190 of II/JG 6

Hello Adriano:

Note that the USAAF Chronology site lists US fighter losses for 17 Sept 1944 in support of MARKET GARDEN as 6 P47s and 7 P 51s (plus 3 and 2 respectively damaged beyond repair):

As the fighters were assigned to attack flak positions and other ground targets, it seems reasonable to assume a number of the above losses were due to ground fire.

Anyway, the above indicates the total number of USAAF fighter losses that need to be accounted for.

Good luck.

Don
