Phil it will be in my future volume(s) on the Jagdgeschwader, I have over 25 years research put into this and the battle that my cousin fell in. The end ruslt as I said about 50 LW crews out of action, the US 445th bomb group who was second in line on the mission of the US 2nd Air Division lost 5 B-24's while the B-24 unit trailing them the 491st bomb group lost 21 B-24's to JG 301 in rear and side assaults.
