Need Help Identifying German Fighter Squadron

[sidney]

According to Christopher Shores and others' A History of the Mediterranean Air War 1940 - 45, Volume IV, pages 537 - 541, the 321 BG (i.e., 446th, 447th and 448th BS) had its worst day since the beginning of operations, a year earlier, losing seven B25s aircraft that day.

Five B25s were claimed by the Flak, and three by II./JG 77 (4. and 6. Staffel), equipped with the Bf 109 G-6s. So, there was some over-claiming there, either by the Flak or by the fighters.

The American bomber gunners seemingly overstated their effort, with only one Bf 109 G-6 and one Fw 190 A-6 of II./SG 4 that may have been lost to the bombers defensive fire.

The rest of the German losses that day were attributed to the Spitfires, collisions and accidents.
