Bonjour,

René and ClinA-78 :thank you for your assistance. 15 losses !? That was a very important air battle. Studying the story of JG 103 and JG 105 in France (above all in Châteauroux) 1943-1944, I focus on the front line life of the pilots who trained there. For the 27 December 1944 air battle : I would like to know who was the victims of LT Elmer N. Fiery (364th FG) who claimed 2 Fw 190 destroyed and one damaged in Frankfurt area, the air combat starting at 5000.
…. probably Uffz. Uffz. Helmuth Riehl ? and … ?
Any information would be greatly appreciated !

Phil.

You could always use the "edit" button at the bottom right of your post.

Michel,
I just tried to research a good English word for the translation of the French expression « bouche bée » … « mouth agape » ? « beyond words » ? Whatever ! Your assistance is very precious, very important for me. I understand that – it is common – such air battle – is very difficult to. To compare carefully each victory and loss reports. Situation changed so fast …
Michel, Each of your information is a very good track ! So I have to know more also on Allied side.

How can I acknowledge you !

I do appreciate such icons which are symbolics of the difficulty of this study !

So Bocholt ? …

Thank you very much indeed !
Phil.

Beware with the matching claim vs loss, as such as the rough location given (ex : Dinant), always with a grain of salt.
Bocholt most probably in Germany.

Best regards
