Re: A ?? RE: an engagement on June 14 1944...
Do not confuse the dates: Grumme was shot down a month later, on 14 July, not on 14 June (but by the 14th FG). His one was the only German claim, there were 6 kills confirmed to the Hungarians. 5 Lightnings were lost and two others suffered serious damages. On the 49th FS side, they got 15 confirmed kills on that day (heavy overclaim). Two of their pilots became aces on the sortie, Jack Lenox (he is still with us) and Louis Benne (who led the squadron and who was shot down and become POW, deceased in 1978).
