602 Squadron 2 July 1944
I have read that both Ken Charney and Pierre Clostermann made double kills on this date (although Charney had one reduced to a "probable" despite his opponent losing his canopy and part of a wing!), but in "The Big Show", Clostermann claims 2-1-2 Ta152s. Earlier studies considered this was probably an early instance of encountering the Fw190D-9 but this is now dismissed as there were none at the front until later that year.
Could it be that these pilots encountered Bf109s rather than Fw190s? I base my question around Dick Audets five claims on 29 December 1944 when he stated he destroyed three Fw190D and two Bf109 when it seems clear he fought Fw190D-9 of JG26/54. regards Keith
