Air Battle on March 22 1945 over Fürstenwalde
Hello,
Pilots of 4th Fighter Group claimed over A/Fs Fürstenwalde and Eggersdorf on March 22 1945 eleven victories over ground-attack Fw 190s, Lt.Col. Sidney Woods killed five of them. Does somebody know to which unit planes belonged? I guess to I./SG 1. Any information about W.Nrs., types and pilots? Thanks for help Michal |

Brian, thanks a lot. It is really what I expected :-)
By the way, I am not researching this battle, only one US flyer who participated in this battle and claimed one Fw 190, was shot down four weeks later over Bohemia. Best regards Michal |
