Re: P-51s vs FW-190s on 20/1/45 N. of Regensburg

Adriano, I apologize that I missed a couple of your previous questions so let me answer them now. No I did not stay in the Air Force after the war. Instead I went to college as I had been 18 when I enlisted and there was no opportunity to attend college. However shortly after finishing college, I was recalled for the Korean conflict and then decided to stay in the Air Force.
My toughest fight was my 4th victory. I believe it was against JG300 in which 64 FW-190s came up from the clouds, shot down seven B-17s as I was diving down to attack them. When I Yo-Yoed up for a second pass, I ran into what I thought was 1 FW (turned out there were two) about 2 or 3 thousand feet above the other Focke Wulfs. We had a furious fight to the deck where one made a mistake and paid the price. In the meantime the other one had disappeared. A few minutes later, I downed a Me-109, but it was not a difficult combat. The Focke Wulf pilots were really good and got 3 shots at me for every one I got at them.
And thank you for the info you sent about the JG 300, 301, and 302 site. I will sign on and hope it is in English. I appreciate your kindness and that of everyone else who was kind enough to assist me. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Cordially, Art Fiedler
