MARCO,
Thanks a lot for your input...
However, how can we explain the JG 2 losses ( Bf 109 ) mostly around 16:00hs near Arromanches ( Isigny, etc..)?
That flight of 4./JG 3 do interest me. HOWEVER, I do notice that there was NO F-6 losses recorded that day ( checked MACRs )...and ONLY a claim submited by Captain John H Hoefker ( 15 RCN ). As far as I know 4th Staffel JG 3 lost two of his pilots on that area/ same time...this is what I am checking out...
Yours

Thanks STEPHEN for pointing me to the 9th AF losses and claims...certainly this will change my overall picture of that day versus the Luftwaffe losses and claims!
Am in a hurry now...unable to check what I do have, but will post here soon more details...
Yours
Adriano

The 78th shot down three Me 109s at Amiens and Montdidier. The rest of the 8th AF Thunderbolts were over Holland/western Germany for Penetration and Withdrawal Support to the strike at Refineries at Stettin, Leipzig, etc. All of the 8th AF Mustangs and Lightnings had their battles from Rugen Is to Poland to Leipzig.

Hi Guys

I hope some one can help me in the following task. I noticed on your forum you talk about 65 Squadron and i'm very intrested i how you are coming about the info as my father was in 65 Squadron on Mustangs and was shot down on the 3rd july 1944 near Caen but i have nothing on how well he did in the Squadron, and im researching his R A F coureir and just for your records he became a POW and made it home after the war

Kind Regards
