December 14,1942 57th FG Losses
On December 14th, Maj Joachim Munchenberg (Stab JG-77)claimed two P-40s and Fw Schwartz (8./JG-77) claimed one P-40 in the afternoon (1508-1525) from a formation of 8 "Amerikanische Curtiss"
To date, I have only been able to identify Lt. Steven Merena 57th FG, 64th FS, who was taken POW on this date. In "Fighters Over the Desert", this combat is described thusly: " Maj Munchenberg took off with seven Bf-109s of III/JG-77 intercepting eight American P-40Fs with fighter escort. Munchenberg shot down at 1608 hours [sic] twelve miles southwest of Agheila,the pilot bailing out and at 1625 shot down a second one in the same area, the pilot bailing out also but his parachute failed to open." Does anyone have more information?
