Do try to find relatives of the US pilots who claimed that day....maybe on their Logbooks they wrote different information that the Squadron Diaries do not have....and you may find pictures of them too...so you can have a more broader picture.

Sadly...something that was really common around that time....a dozen or plus LW fighters against 400+ bombers and 100+ escort fighters....One needed Courage to take off against those odds, really....

Congratulations and keep going...you will find your answers here...and supporters too.
