Re: Mosquito claim over Rumania on 3 August 1944

Unfortunately, I don't have recon details breakdown , none of the books
available provide complete details. Poltawa remains a dark chapter on
the 15th AF history and this of VVS, both sides claimed to be Allies
in reality however they acted otherwise which was a partial factor leading
to the task force disaster on June 21, 44 at midnight.

As into my question , it remains still open namely the dates u've
mentioned reg. RAF Recon Musquitos present at Poltawa
which is not mentioned on any of my books and would
be of specific interest to me.

PS: From Russian sources I was confirmed again that both
recon planes were DH Musquitos which may have taken off
from Kharkov or Skadovsk on purpose to perform high alt.
recon over Romanian targets which as described by JG77
were intercepted somewhere around Zilistea's perimeters
