Re: USAAF Pilots Who Scored Victories Over The Romanian Air Force
Gabor
Again is an interesting point worth thorough study , the route to and from Hungaria
to Vienna was rather a dangerous one , I will check all 15th BG's and FG's material at my
end approaching Lobbau from Hungaria or withdrawing the target through deep Hungaria
to Italy thats something new me, distance about 300 Km at P-38 cruise 40 minutes and
B-17/B-24 about an hour plus with payload . A brief view of 464 , 485 and 460 BG's
history books show that on June 16,44 withdrawal from Lobbau was via Balaton though got
heavily engaged by German and Hungarian fighters . Flying to Vienna from Italy was an other complicate
issue indicating that the Austrian Radars were picking up the groups already over Yugoslavia
something of a real concern to the 15th
I will check it up further and get back to you on this.
