Re: RCAF No. 418 Sqn's claim for night of 4 to 5 July 1944
Hello Frédéric,
to my knowledge, III/KG26 and I and III/KG77 operate this night from their base in southern France. They all use Cognac airport for intermediate landing. It seems I/KG77 engaged 5 planes and III/KG77 7 planes and all returned to base (message ULTRA XL1161) ; III/KG26 probably engaged 8 planes (see messages ULTRA XL 824, 986 and 991) with one plane lost over Channel area. II/KG26 does not seem to have been engaged during night 4 to 5 july 1944, but operates next night with III/KG77. So it seems the plane you are looking for is not from KG26 or KG77. For KG66, I don't know. Regards Claude
