10./JG-27 Pilot Loss - Any Allied Claims?

[hucks216]

Hello all,
Would anyone be able to tell me please if there were any Allied claims for a Messerschmitt-109 off the coast of Croatia on 22nd December 1943? The loss belongs to 10./JG-27 with the aircraft being lost near the island of Korcula to 'reasons unknown' and the pilot, Uffz Franz Koderer, being listed as Missing In Action. He is listed in the DRK Vermisstenbildliste volume for aircrew.
The aircraft in question was Bf-109G-6 760004.

The relevant volume of 'Die Jagdfliegerverbände' shows this as the only loss of IV/JG-27 that day and while it mentions that it was lost on a mission a separate table doesn't show any alarm starts for that day and the only missions mentioned near that date are for the 20th & 26th December.

Looking through the web, there is a site ( http://forum.armyairforces.com/MACR-...r-m143063.aspx ) that has mention of him being mentioned on another site about losses in Yugoslavia relating to a B-24 (Serial 42-73137) loss on the 24th November which seems to confuse the issue somewhat but as I can not find a direct reference to this incident I can not shed any light on it. The loss of the B-24 is apparently mentioned in MACR-1300 but the Yugoslavian Losses site supposedly mentions him in relation to its loss with him being killed that day - and then lists him again on the correct date.
