Re: Johnen: Duel under the stars
I have the book. Johnen doesn't provide any detail of the actions in the book itself. He jumps from detailing a specific encounter on the 22/8 to another on 6/9. The only mention he makes of the intervening period (from 22/8) is the following:
"During the next several nights we had no peace, for the lift went on from Italy to Warsaw. The British disregarded their huge losses. Night after night these flying good strains took to the air and night after night we shot them out of the sky."
However at the back of the book Johnen lists his claims as follows:
No.27 - Halifax @ 21.53hrs, 26.08.44, SE Hungary, map ref: MT-54
No.28 - Mitchell @ 22.30hrs, 26.08.44, SE Hungary, map ref: OT-76
No.29 - Halifax @ 21.50hrs, 27.08.44, SE Hungary, map ref: NS-59
No.30 - Halifax @ 22.12hrs, 28.08.44, SE Hungary, map ref: SM-45
He was based at Novisad, near Belgrade.
