III./JG1 7 September 1943 ME109 Loss

[aquarya]

Thanks, both! The Spitfire bit was a mistake as no Spitfires were in this area at the time. P-47's were there, however, and the time of the claim/loss match, as well as the description from both the American fighter and bomber archival records. I'm assuming JG1 aircraft recognition wasn't always perfect, especially as the P-47's were just starting to encroach on their territory at this time.
