Bf109 massacre on 30 July 1943
On this date, over southern Sardinia the 325th Fighter Group flying P40 Warhawks was in combat with an LW Unit. At the end of the engagement the group made claims for 21 Me109s! Does anyone know which LW unit this was? Apparently after the war one of the pilots of the 325th found that in fact 30-35 Bf109s had been shot down, and several others damaged. The german unit was apparently new to the theatre and was withdrawn afterwards.
I suspect overclaiming but even 10-15 losses in a single LW gruppe would be catastrophic! regards Keith
