Re: 274 Squadron 24 December 1944
In Christopher Shores and Clive Williams book ACES HIGH, it listed in the notes it was probably a Fw 190 from IV|JG 54. I have checked Prien’s JFV 13/V for their losses that day. All of the ones with known pilots lost were not in the Eindhoven area. There was one loss to air combat that listed unknown pilot, location and only list IV/JG 54 Fw 190 A. In “To Win The Winter Sky” it describes this battle but lists Lt Paul Brandt as IV/JG 54 pilot. I have checked his crash location, which was not in that area. The other two known pilots were not in that area either. So the hunt continues.
