Or do you mean that no fighter bombers of the force which made a diversional to Gilze-Rijen attacked as well ?
I am quite a novice when it comes to 8th USAAF as you can see, so if you could clearify this minor issue, that would be great.
Many thanks in advance, all the best, Marcel

Hi Marcel,
Yes, no 8th AF fighter bombing or strafing attacks were made on Florennes, Gilze-Rijen, Liege or other airfields in that immediate area on that date.
