Re: Partisan attacks on airfields

I have finally got hold of my more or less extensive library. In Prien, Rodeike and Stemmer's book Messerschmitt Bf 109 im Einsatz bei der III. und IV. Jagdgeschwader 27 I found no evidence of the event below.

"... On 29 February 1944 a platoon of 2. Južnomoravski odred (South Morava Detachment) set on fire eight Gustavs which force-landed at Ravne auxiliary airfield a week earlier..."

Perhaps, these were replacement aircraft about to be delivered to III./JG 27, which at that time was based at various airports in Greece, Crete and Albania, or perhaps the 2. Južnomoravski odred report on eight Gustavs being destroyed was overly optimistic?
