Does anyone have the losses for JG-2 on July 27,1943? Pierre Clostermann claimed his first two victories on this date.

A FW 190 A-6 of I/JG 2 at Gonneville/Pont L'Eveque; a FW 190 A-6 of 2/JG 2 at Annebault; A Bf 109 G-6 of 11/JG a at Le Plancay/St Mars; A FW 190 A-6 of Stab/JG 2 at 1807 hrs at Lisieux; A Bf 109 G-6 of 5/JG 2 into Somme Estuary. Anything match?

Thanks Chris. According to Shores, his victories are listed as two Fw-190s "S. Trouville". Guess I'll go to Google earth and see where this is.

Hello,

encounter with Fw190, and air fight, around 20km south of Trouville, doesn't mean the Fw190s crashed there...
Sources for that day: "Le grand cirque", "Les carnets de René Mouchotte", Mission Reports Sqn 341 and Marauder men, J.O. Moench.
there is one victory before these "first two" on 17 Juin 1943, a Bf 109; Credited(?)

Cheers, Franck.

The two Fw-190s are listed in the Chris Shores book and his book , "The Big Show" as his first victories.
