"Bud" Anderson's 7th kill

[kb]

IIRC, Luftwaffe ME109 gruppen engaged were II/JG27, II/JG53, III/JG3 and I/JG5. From an earlier post on this subject...

"II/JG53 lost 4 ME109s. II/JG27 lost 6. They intercepted a box of B17s and their P51 escort "southeast of Nancy".

I/JG5 reported it lost 7 pilots (not clear if KIA or WIA nor how many a/c).

III/JG3 lost 7 a/c and 3 pilots KIA. One of the KIA pilots had recorded 13 victories (Obfhr Robert Meyer-Arend). He crashed near Gerardmer. Prien's unit history described the action as occuring around Colmar-Gerardmer area."

Not aware of a site with this information. Jochen Prien's histories of JG3 and JG53 were my sources. Tony Wood's records indicate victory claims by German JG's, giving some indication of the units that engaged the 8thAF.

thanks, ill check it up.gary,god bless
