claim list - may 1944

[pilot05]

Hello,
I'm looking for a US claim list for 29. may 1944.
Prien mentions 140 claims for that day, I am interested in the claims of (if they had that day)


8 AF

4th FG (P-51)
20th FG (P-38)
55th FG (P-38)
78th FG (P-47)
353rd FG (P-47)
355th FG (P-51)
361st FG (P-51)
479th FG (P-38)

9th AF

367th FG (P-38)
474th FG (P-38)





I could find out, taht 361st FG claims 12 E/A destroyed, does s.o. have any further information? (who, location, time, report...)

Who can help me?


Regards
