Re: RAF Mustang Escorts
I have read ORBs of all units participating in the mission. If they were not over Bergen, where do you think they were? Where have you found it was the reason they were replaced?
In regard of liking/disliking I think it was perfectly put by Paul Hamlin in his Coolham Airfield Remembered. It does not change the fact they were proffessionals and good at their job.
Problems with escorts of BC daylight raids occured quite often, obviously they lacked experience. The only unit I am awared of being asked not to escort anymore was 4 FG after their disastrous escort to Norawy.
