Re: Mosquito claim over Rumania on 3 August 1944
Hello,
An Update,
4th August '44
P-38 - Richard E. Willsie, rescued by Richard T. Andrews after he force landed out of fuel.
Willsie's aircraft was 42-104174 named "Snake Eyes".

Also,
540 Sqdn and as already said, 60 (SAAF) Sqdn do not look to have had any losses that fit the date, any losses are a few days out. Also 540's detachment ( an Island aprox 20m from Archangel) details are not noted in the ORB as far as I can find . Also the American Squadrons Mosquito losses do not look any better.

So were more than the known "single" Mosquito sent to the Russians after all ?

Alex
