Alain57, thank you for the reply as I was looking at something indicating that IV/JG 54 made a claim for three Spitfires on this day.

Hi,

During the ramrod 73/I, slt Maurice Mailfert of n°341 (Free French) squadron "Alsace" has been damaged. The ammunition box in the left wing of its Spitfire have been destroyed by Lw a/c and he must force-landed at Manston.
