Re: Luftwaffe Losses for the 5th August 1944 ?
According to the USAAF chronology (http://paul.rutgers.edu/~mcgrew/wwii...ml/Aug.44.html) Eight Air Force fighters claimed this day 29-1-9 aircraft in the air and 4-0-5 on the ground.
What I have in my files (coming from the Maxwell offical claim list and the files compiled by Mr Oyknik), for the destroyed claims only (I'm not noting probable and damaged): _ 23 Bf 109, 1 Fw 190 and 1 unfilled type shot down by 8th Air Force fighters, all over Germany _ 3 Bf 109 shot down over France by Ninth Air Force fighters. There was no claims this day by US units based in MTO. As for RAF claims, I have books at home that will have the answer, and will edit this post once back home if nobody had provided it. Luftwaffe fighter losses this day (missing or shot down) (excluding East Front losses): 32 according to the Summary of Luftwaffe losses I./JG 1: 2 III./JG 1: 1 I./JG 2: 1 I./JG 3: 6 III./JG 3: 6 II./JG 5: 8 II./JG 27: 4 III./JG 300: 4 |
