Re: Loss Fw-190. March 02, 1944
According to Donald Caldwell's JG 26 War Diary Volume Two, JG 26 lost two FW-190's in a collision at 1145 hours in the Trier-Wittlich area, and the 365th Fighter Group was responsible for three other FW-190's, two around 1150 hours NE of Cochem and one in the Polch-Mayen-Eifel area without a time stated. The two lost in the collison were 470213 and 550915, while those shot down were 530718 and 642001 both NE Cochem and 470202 in the Polch-Mayen-Eifel area. As for the 365th, from Frank Olynyk's ETO work, Maj. Coffey claimed a FW 190 At 1145 West of Luxembourg, Gross claimed his at 1145 west of Trier, Maj. Gray claimed two destroyed plus a probable at 1240 in the Bastogne area, Capt. Harmon claimed a probable 190 at 1240 in the same area, and apt. Boles claimed a 190 destroyed, also at 1240 in the Bastogne area. The group's claims also possibly included planes from JG 2.
