79th FG, France, september 44 victories

Hello,

I'm finishing a work on the 79th FG but a microfilm concerning missions from September 5th to October 2nd is not readable. In the following microfilm which is a summary I see that there were 3 aerial victories on September 5th and 24th obtained by Earl P Maxwell, Jack C Fortune and Ronal M Faison respectively. Do you know where they were obtained? Against what kind of enemy? And possibly the circumstances.

Thank you in advance.

JF

For 24 September Dr. Frank Olynyk lists Bf 109 claims by both Lt Raison and Lt. William C. Waller at "W-1585, Mulhouse area."
