Re: USAAF losses over Ploesti 24 June 1944
Hello researcher111,
You say -
"Most of the the mission reports and other events at 450 BG website and other 15th AF BG's sites are outdated something which corrected numerous times by historians throughout the years. 450 BG lost 6 aircrafts on that day , while if 450 BG claims that 39 Libs took off from Manduria how could then only 26 of them be over the target ( info updated recently, this after accounting early returns and other)."
If you look again at the numbers.
39 a/c are said to have taken off, OK
3 a/c returned early, OK
29 a/c returned to Base plus 1 returned to Base later, so 30 a/c returned OK
So
39 - 3 = 36 -(29 + 1) = 6
