Re: RAMROD 753 to MALINES on 19 April 1944
I understand that 310, 312 and 313 squadrons escorted the B26 bombers on that mission, but only 72 bombers attacked the yards. This sounds probable given the bomb loads dropped. Presumably the other bombers were used on the other targets.
They were attacked by 20 Me 109's followed up by a wave of Fw190's losing two Spit IX'x MK248 flown by F/L Budil POW and MJ558 flown by W/O Mrtvy. The losses were caused by the Fw190's flown by Maj Karl Boris and Oblt Wolfgang Neu.
Details from 2nd Tactical Airforce Vol 1
