14th FG, 27 May 1944

[Nick Beale]

Does anyone have the details of a claim by 14th FG of a Bf 109 (or maybe Fw 190) during a raid on Nimes, Southern France on 27 May 1944?

Also a claim of one Bf 109 damaged by 31st FG on the same day (raid on Montpellier).

Thanks.

Hi john,
My source is Marc Nellias who created years ago an accurate list of JGr Süd 's pilots (trainees and instructors). He investigated on several crash sites in southern France. In my knowledge he used to work :
- Pierre Watteeuw -Les pertes de la chasse de jour Allemande 1939-1945
Volume 1&2 -Editions Lela Presse.

- Jean-louis Roba & Martin Pegg -JAGDWAFFE the Méditerranean 1943-1945
