Michal I will be covering this action at a later date in a future work.

1045 for the pilots mentioned and Kilgo/Mundell's at 1110, an Fw 190

E ~ Peter K may come on with his thoughts as he has covered this air battle well.....

Hello Erich,

thanks. I have been spoken with Peter K about it. Just now I am interesting in which locations reported US fighters victories. Not direct crashplaces - at least about three on territory of Bohemia I know. It is on the edge of my research but when I am working on one topic concerning Air Raids in Central Bohemia, I have found several small mentions in Police Books about Dog-fight and bombing on this day in Central Bohemia. So, that´s why I am looking for locations of kills reported by US fighters.

Best

Michal
