Hello gentlemen,

thanks for your interest.

I am looking for information about May 29th 1944.
This day 361th FG escorted B-17 Bombers to Cottbus. They had an airfight with german Fw 190 from JGr. Ost in the area of Meseritz (in some documents I found Pitka..).

The 361st FG claimed this day 12 e/a destroyed in the air and 7 on the ground, the scoring pilots were

Butts, Callaway, Cheney, Downey, Eckfeldt, Frank, Hopkins, Kozicky, Lichter, Morehouse, Murdy, Roberts, Spencer i Webb.


I wanted to know, if there is any specific information about this day in these books (f.e. witness reports, specific data..).

Maybe any of the mentioned pilots are still alive?

Thanks and best regards
Martin
