Re: P-38 losses, southern Greece 15/17 November,1943

Hi guys

Just to add some fuel to the fire - I note that on 20 December 1943, when 100+ B-17s with an escort of 60+ P-38s raided Eleusis, 17 German fighters were claimed destroyed, plus 3 probables and 3 damaged, out of an attacking force estimated to have numbered 35.

I'm not aware of actual losses but do believe an element of overclaiming!

Cheers
Brian
