Encounter reports estimate 20+ so it would have likely been more than 9/JG1 but who knows?

III/JG 1 put up what it could on this date; roughly 20 ME109s-the formation was led by Hptmn. Grislawski. The Germans claimed to have been attacked by over 100 Mustangs (only 33 4FG P51s actually).
US claims were lead by Willard Millikan, who claimed 4 ME109s (using only 666 rounds of 12.7mm). III/JG 1 claimed 3 P51s, claimed by the Experten aloft that day (Grislawski, Burckhardt, and Kaiser).
