19 Squadron RAF ( Mustang III ) losses 17th September 1944

[Adriano Baumgartner]

Kjetil and Karl,
You added a lot more to my general picture of the combats of 17th September! Kjetil very very interesting the Combat report and particularly this single Me 109 amongst a lot of Fw 190. As you have seen the actual combat report of 19 Squadron matches the HOUR of the combat reports of JG 6. I do not know how many JG 6 machines took off, if they joined forces with another Jagdgeschwader. What seems strange from the reports is that one claim was made East of Eindhoven and the other around Emmerich area. And, we do have the loss of Oberleutnant Werner Uhlig ( my main focus of research ) well to the east, somewhere near Koln ( Cologne ). It is very intriguing...because there is no other ( up to now ) known USAF claim around 17:00hs. So, perhaps, as another researcher like us put on an early reply, maybe JG 6 met 65 or 602 Squadron. I still am looking for 65 Squadron Mustang´s claims and losses, trying to find out some ORB for this Squadron. I only know Oblt Uhlig as a JG 6 loss. Do not know if this JG had more losses...but I am guessing correctly that they probably met 19 Squadron or 65 Squadron´s Mustangs.
I will be sharing all NEW information with you and the others that have helped me so far.
Thank you again for your kind contribution and HELP! I am really in debt...

Yours friendly as ever

Adriano
