Re: Luftwaffe Kills in Tunisia Compared to Recorded USAAF P-38 losses
Hi all.
Re Tunis losses of P-38s. The three fighter group histories are probable 95 % OK, but I can recall talking to Joel Owens in 1990, about the lack of reports evidence etc for what his squadron did in Feb 43. Hoever I havent found anythingat the intelligence operationa commend levels. What is totally lacking is the PR Group. The is one very belated listing for a F-5 that was lost to II JG 2, but I would suggest that leaves a good 10 to 20 short, There are references to 3PRG lost one but no details etc. I would suggest lone P-38's at a very high altitude are likley to be PR aircraft.
