| 1st Lt. Robert C. Church, 29 May 1944, 4th FG | "At about 4000 feet we were both still going straight down at about 450 MPH so I started to pull out gradually. I saw his A/C go straight into the sea about a half mile S/W of Nysted." |
| 1st Lt. Fred W. Glover. 5 August 1944, 4th FG | "At 10,000 feet we were indicating 600 mph." |

He was making a slight turn to port at 1,000 feet heading back toward the drome so I leveled off about 3,000 yards behind him and put on full power. My I.A.S. was then about 500 MPH and I expected him to use full power also and attempt to pull away from me." |
| 1st Lt. Clifford C. Sherman, 7 October 1944, 55th FG | "I closed on him but found it very difficult to control the plane or place my sight on him because of my terrific speed - over 500 miles per hour indicated." |
| 1st Lt. Arthur L Thorsen, 11 September 1944, 55th FG | "All this time we were still in the vertical dive - and when I checked my air speed it registered 500 MPH." |
| Capt. Edwin H. Miller, 21 March 1945, 78th FG | "I followed the jet in his dive and started to close slowly when I saw he was headed in a shallow turn for the clouds. My speed at this time was approximately 500 mph." |

| 1st Lt. R. W. Priest, 2 November 1944, 355th FG | "The right wing of the E/A was coming apart from the force of the dive. I glanced at the airspeed and I was indicating 620 miles per hour." |
| Major Joseph E. Broadhead, 5 December 1944, 357th FG | "He was diving almost vertically at 450 to 500 M.P.H. at 3,000 ft. altitude." |
| Major Irwin H. Dregne, 19 May 1944, 357th FG | "At about 14,000 ft. the Me-109 was in a vertical dive and started rolling. He went into a tight spiral and then started spinning. I followed him down waiting for him to recover." |
| 1st Lt. Frank L. Gailer, 12 October 1944, 357th FG | "I followed him until I hit compressibility at approximately 600 M.P.H., taking pictures of the crash from about 6,000 feet after a 7 G pull out." |
| Lt. Col. Thomas L Hayes, 28 May 1944, 357th FG | "Then the ship acutally disintegrated. I went out of control indicating 500 MPH at 20,000 ft. and so did my wing man." |
| 1st Lt. Leroy A. Ruder, 19 May 1944, 357th FG | "At the time we were going at a great speed with my aircraft nearly out of control. As I fired my last burst, the E/A started into another roll with pieces flying from it. Suddenly the E/A fell apart as the pilot tried to dive into a cloud." |
| 1st Lt. James H. Sehl, 19 September 1944, 357th FG | "When I was certain he couldn't pull out, I reefed back on the stick at about 550 M.P.H. and below 1,000 ft. Then I took strafing camera shots of the burning wreckage." |
| Capt. John A. Storch, 19 May 1944, 357th FG | "From the way in which the E/A was spinning, I believe the pilot must have in some way damaged his plane by taking such violent evasive action at excessive speeds, as we were both probably indicating approximately 500 MPH." |
| Capt. Jack R. Warren, 22 February 1944, 357th FG | "I was indicating about 525 mph so pulled out about 5000 ft and circled. I saw the Me 109 go into the ground and explode." |
| Capt. Calvert L. Williams, 24 April 1944, 357th FG | "We were at about 10,000 ft., doing 500 M.P.H. I pulled over him and looked around; large pieces of the disintegrated ship were dropping down." |

| Capt Thomas P. Farrell, 5 December 1944, 364th FG | "At 8,000 feet while still going straight down indicating above 650 mph, I had to trim the a/c out of the dive. The e/a went straight into the ground and exploded." |
| Col. Roy W. Osborn, 21 November 1944, 364th FG | "By this time, I was going about 550 miles per hour and I rapidly closed on the next e/ac." |
| 1st Lt. Romildo Visconte, 12 October 1944, 364th FG | "We had been doing about 550 mph in the dive." |

| Major Arthur F. Jeffrey, 25 December 1944, 479th FG | "On the way down I observed the other Me 109 break to pieces after he had dived almost straight down for 10,000 feet. I had not fired on him, nor did I see any other Allied A/C attacking, so the E/A must have exceeded the stress limits in the dive." |
| Lt. Col. Kyle L. Riddle, 5 December 1944, 479th FG |
| Major George Carpenter, 13 April 1944, 4th FG | "I went after him again and we got in a tight circle for a few minutes. The E/A could not turn with me without losing altitude though and eventually I got on him." |

| 1st Lt. Richard S. Whitelaw, 24 May 1944, 339th FG | "I saw the E/A and called to Major Scruggs to break left; he did so and I turned inside him, getting on the tail of the E/A in 720 degrees of turning." |
| 2nd Lt. John P. Wilson, 26 November 1944, 339th FG | "After about two tight 360's he flipped over and headed for the deck." |
| Capt. Valdee Wyatt, 7 July 1944, 339th FG | "I pulled up again, and about this time Lt. Bush fired at him from astern, but overshot him, and he and the 109 were in a tight turn, with the 109 firing at Lt. Bush, but not getting enough deflection to hit him." |
| 1st Lt. Jule V. Conard, 27 June 1944, 352nd FG | "The bogey turned out to be four Fw 190's which went into a tight lufberry to the right. After a turn or so I got on the last 190's tail." |

| Lt. Richard L. Henderson, 27 December 1944, 352nd FG | "I broke into him and after five turns I got into position and fired a long burst getting strikes on his right wing and the fusleage." |
| Capt. Walter E. Stark, 27 May 1944, 352nd FG | "I reefed in hard all the while and was actually making a smaller circle within the 109s." |
| Lt. John F. Thornell, 10 June 1944, 352nd FG | "About 30 E/a were still trying to get us, but I managed to turn into them and out-turn them." |
