LW losses 18 June 1944 Montpellier-Nimes

[keith A]

Cheers Nick. I expect De L'Espinay and Montravel claimed the Bf109 as probables or damaged. The ORB of GCII/5 states they were victories but it is rare to see Montravel's claim described other than by Gisclon and L'Espinay's even rarer. KG26 does appear in a couple of the victories claimed by P-39 earlier in 1943-1944. I saw JG53 lost two Bf109 on ferry flights, cause unknown but both fell in Northern France at Meaux and Villacoublay. JGr.200 sounds interesting. Weren't they implicated in the loss of Saint Exupery?

best regards

They were, enough so that I spent about 20 years researching them, on and off. The results are here: http://www.ghostbombers.com/JG200/200intro.html
