" Luftwaffe Hit and Run Raiders" (Classic Publication)by Chris Goss says I/SKG10 were operating over Normandy on the 14/15th losing the Fw190 of Fw. Friedo Bohlert to a N/F at 0430hrs.

Hi Andreas,
I don't know if you know this very useful site:
http://www.wwii-photos-maps.com/
it has a summary of LW ops. in June 1944, under German situation maps/Miscellaneous:

may be useful for background information.

Hi Andreas,

To confirm what Brian wrote, a I./S.K.G. 10 pilot took off from Tours-W at 03:34 on 15 June 1944 to fly a mission against ships north of Isigny, returning to base at 05:12.

PS - am burning the DVD with the files as I type this.

Cheers,

Currently at the Aviation Literature Seminar at Gardermoen, maybe a future arena for a meet up. All welcome of course, Norsk Luftfartsmuseum is the sponsor and organizer.
