[Rottler]

Hello Keith,

on September 22, 1943 the RAF claimed 4-2-7 Luftwaffe aircraft.
Again there is no agreement with the German documents.

A Marauder formation of 233rd and 386th BG hit the Evreux-Fauville airfield around 1612 hrs damaging 2 Fw 190 of 10./JG 2 and 1 Bf 109 of 11./JG 2:

Fw 190 A-6 530141 70%
Fw 190 A-6 550539 90%
Bf 109 G-3 16285 80%.

After the attack 32 Fw 190 and 12 Bf 109 of Stab, I. and II./JG 2 encountered the Marauder formation, forced away by the escorting Spitfires.

RAF losses:
Major Egon Mayer of Stab/JG 2 claimed two Spitfires at 1717 hrs and 1720 hrs east of Lisieux.

Luftwaffe losses:
Fw 190 A-6 530318 Fw Heinz Ender 2./JG 2 killed 8 km southeast Conches, 100%
Bf 109 G-6 27056 Fhr Klaus Diekert 12./JG 2 wounded near Acquigny 100%.
