Re: 7th and 14th July 1944, 15th USAAF fighters claims vs. Me 410

Hello Gizmo,
The 325th FG shows no claims against Me 410s during the month of July. There were quite a few claims but mostly against Me-109s and FW-190s. However on the 8 July '44 mission to Zwolfaxing A/D, 11 unidentified T/E aircraft were observed but not encountered.
On 16 July 30 plus unaggressive Me-110s were encountered with claims of 7 destroyed and 1 damaged. There was an unusual event during this mission. Three P-51s were diving on 3 Me-110s when the leader observed them. He immediately flipped over, went straight down between the other two, struck the wings of both the other Me-110s and all three smashed together filling the air with a mass of wings, engines, and tails.
Cordially, Art Fiedler
