77 JG , 31st FG an 52nd FG history books as well "La chasse de jour allemande en Roumanie"don't
give a clear picture as into who shot down who and at this point in time and by no means I can agree with
the statement that Curtis alone scored Trowal claim if at all !

Adding to the confussion are the 2 P-51's of 52nd FG which collided somewhere on the way
back while entering a battle with ME-110's whereby the exact loss location
is unknown to me. In addition the Popescu's IAR-80 is also claimed in form of a FW-190
by a few gunners of 483rd BG near Brasov (Gimbav ) further more the gunners of 464th
and 465th BG's who were attacked by some 15 ME-109 near the target (Ploesti )
and who later on also claimed 2 ME-109 brought down making Curtis claim even more
confusing .
