Re: German Losses after 9th AF strafing April 5, 1944 on French airdrome
Hello,
Yes, at Romorantin fighters were practically "bumper against bumper"! As the report said: “…there was considerable traffic congestion.” In addition, two Bomb Squadron of 2nd Combat Wing dropped their bombs on the airdrome, several aircraft having misunderstood orders. Tours, their primary target, was covered and on their way to Orleans-Bricy, secondary target, the Combat Wing flew over Romorantin. The 1./JG105, the German unit which was there, was wiped out that day.
Best regards,
Frederic
