Re: P-47 Actions 29 Mar 44 near Berlin

The 355th FG attacked 40-50 Fw 190's near Brunswick (the target) at approximately 1320GMT and had claims of 14 air and two ground. Both the 354FS and 357FS were attacking in P-51B's. The Luftwaffe fighter force approached the B-17s from SW direction.

The 51 would usually close on an Fw 190 in a dive with no problem... although nothing out dove a Jug.
