Re: Luftwaff Units 1944

Going by my reference material it was on Feb. 20th 1944 over Aachen. It was kill no. 10 for Beeson. My info does not say if it was an Fw-190d or a Radial 190. Thanks, Bill

Re: Luftwaff Units 1944

Beeson's ship on Feb 20 was QP-B 42-7890 P47D-1RE.

As the 10th air score on that day he would have likely had 'nine' in a row of five with a row of four below - all iron cross. The score was an Fw 190A likely a -7, D's didn't enter combat until late November and the 4th didn't get mustangs on ops until the 22(?) or 25(?) of Feb, 1944. ( Iwill have to chaeck on combat ops date with Mustangs)

Peter Randall's website - about halfway down has several photos of Beesons 47 and 51's.

There were no Fw 190D-9 aircraft operational in February 1944.
