One of the triumphant pilots this day was Lt. Fritz Karch who attacked a B-17 at 7,000 meters height and shot it down for his 12th abschuss. In all the JG 2 filed four fighters lost during this battle, with one pilot KIA, one MIA and one WIA.

This is one of the nine profiles that I have manage to make during the week, and one of four Bf 109 G-6. In fact this is the 184th Bf 109 G-6/5 high quality profile of this type made by me. Of those 73 have previously been published in my profile books, the rest (111 profiles) is by other words unpublished so far.

This particular profile is put on hold and would be published in one of the books published after Profile book No 12.
