II/JG2 31/12/43 losses
Hi guys
Has anyone the losses of II/JG2 for 31 December 1943? Yes, I am seeking the possible identity of the FW190 claimed by Screwball Beurling on this date. Thanks in advance Brian |

Re: II/JG2 31/12/43 losses
Brian,
All I have is two Fw190's of 12th staffel with one plot killed (Quimperle) and one wounded (landing at Garl), and two 109's of 5th Staffel one pilot killed one wounded this day. Perhaps Beurling's victim got out OK., Regards Brian Bines |

Re: II/JG2 31/12/43 losses
Concur with Brian B-2 x FW 190s (only one in combat) and 2 x Bf 109 Gs (both in combat). II Gruppe had the Bf 109s and it was 12 Staffel for the FW 190s. I think that JGr Sud/Ost were also involved?The only confirmed claims I have that day were 4 dest for 165 Sqn and 9 for USAAF

Found it. 1/128 lost a FW 190 on take off whilst JGr Ost lost4 x Bf 109 Fs, a Bf 109 G and JGr West suffered 2 FW 190s lost in a mid-air collision. Nothing appears to match with Beurling

Re: II/JG2 31/12/43 losses
Hi Brian and Chris
Do you want the good news or the bad? The good news is that I will endeavour to stop drinking - the bad news is that the date of Beurling's claim was 30 December not 31st. Ooops! May I ask you to have another look at your records please? Apologies and thanks Brian |

Me 109 was commonly mistook for Fw 190. What Buzz wrote in his report?

Good point, Franek
Beurling's wingman on this occasion claimed a Bf109 damaged. I hope to obtain copy of Beurling's report this week. Cheers Brian |
