Re: Spitfire IX units in Italy, October-November 1944.?
Hello Col,
As I said the info I gave is from the AB series books. From JA100-JZ999 It has for JL346 the following. Page 44. JL346 - 253/249 - NFT. The info you have provided may well be correct, I do not dispute it. Thank you for your additional information. But wasn't it already given in an earlier post in this thread ? Alex |
