Can anyone either guide me or advise me on this? Am interested in 1) timing and 2) target locations, especially if around or north of Terborg (Netherlands - grid reference A.0275).

Much appreciated.

Kind regards,

The 8th AF BC sent out a limited strike to attack Erfurt area targets but recalled during assembly. The '98/99' Mustangs you are referring to were the 352nd and 361st were released and swept the battlefield areas east and southeast of Belgium
