might be good to pick up a copy of volume 2 JG 300 from Eagle-editions.com
you might be surprised as to what this Reich defense unit was capable of as well as IV.Sturm/JG 3 did on 27 September 1944. possibilities exist when the US escort system was not in place at the right time, this was extremely rare but it did happen. In regards to the above date I mentioned all 3 heavy Fw 190Gruppen were in an attack from the rear and JG 3 was to reach the poor 445th bg first shooting down 18 of the B-24's before the 361st fg could catch them which they did not as they has already hit the deck. I have studied the above operation at length for some 15 years and have found indeed the claims of the JG 3 come true sadly. Ossi Romm shot down 3 himself and his interview is placed in one of Alfred Prices books from years gone back but there is more to this story. Ossi selected his quarry on the side/flank if you will of the US bg and took out 3 B-24's in a slow methodical action as he flew forward.
also on 26 November 1944 which Bill knows full well about pilot Oberfeldwebel Hans Müller of 2./JG 301 flying a standard Fw 190A-8 with four 2cm weapons shot down 3 B-24's of the 491st bg. He started on the rear of the Bomb group and slowly moved his way forward before he banked off and hit the deck somehow avoiding the P-51's.
I would simply question Freys accts as well as Hermichens as the attacks were ,made from the front unless as stated earlier these pilots were able to run the risk of attacking following US bomb groups in succession. this is the only way this could of worked.
as to
Weals book they are forced/pushed into publication without primary sources as background he has used old lists copied which need revamping and other books already written that need a good clean-up
