Bf109 massacre on 30 July 1943

[yogybär]

From a technical point of view, on the first look, the P-40 stands no chance against a Bf109G. But when one look into the BD605 problematic and then rethinks that some of the 109's might have carried the gunpod-Rüstsatz, then the performance of such a 1,3ata-3xMG151/20-109G-6 is only a bit better then that of a P-40F.

Interesting is the following statement:

"poorly executed tactics" and "lack of coordination"

It implements that already by mid-1943, US-pilots were much better then their German counterparts.

Can anyone state who were Gruppenkommandeur and Staffelkapitäne and other aces of III./JG77 on that day?
