Re: Combat West Rouen on 26 08 1944 and Louvier 09 08 1944
Thanks Steve for these precisions .
Yes there are good chances that it was a Jabo FW 190G-3 , I am waiting for some photos of the wrecks taken few time after crash . But the dog fight noises heard by witnesses , could be the noise of the engine not running very well . The french police report mentionned a crash date at 23:00 , so I think there is no doubt about it .
On second hand a pīlot of 3./SKG10 is reported missing that day . The mission was to attack Avranches , he was reported shot down by AA but as he is stil reported missing up to now , he could have been hit but succeeded to fly his aircraft on several miles before his aircraft being unflyable (engine over heating? due to combat damage) .Louviers is on the way from Avranches to Rosičre-en-Santrerre where SKG10 was based .
So from pieces of puzzle to pieces of puzzle , after withdrawing some hypothesis , we will find the most probable option.
So if any new information or fact comes to you , it will be welcome.
Many thanks to all you for your help and support and all the next coming posts .
