354th Fighter Group 12 September 1944
On this date the 354th and 4th FG encountered JG2 and JG11. The German losses were at least sixteen Fw190A-6/A-8 and a significant number of pilots.
However a reading of various sources indicates that the victories for the 354th FG were from twenty-two to twenty eight in the air, and eight on the ground (on the same date 4th FG claimed five Fw190). According to CieldeGloire of the air kills twenty-three for the 353rd and five for 355th. I know CieldeGloire has been accused of being innaccurate at times but overall it does reflect most sources. Cross-refencing with the ace list of the 353rd supports their database. Claimants among the 353rd include the aces Carr, Dahlberg, Overfield, Reynolds and Rudolf who claim seventeen between them - another pilot claims three! Does anyone have a definitive listing of the 354th FG claims on this date?
