JU 52 casualties Tunis area 15th January 1943.

Hello to all.

Does anyone know of Ju 52 losses between Sicily and Cap Bon on the afternoon of the 15 January 1943?. The 14th Fighter Group claimed 5 and a B-25 claimed another. The 14th also claimed a Me 323, but we know who that was. We, that is the team working on Med Air War Vol 3, are not aware of any Ju 52 losses. What makes me think there were losses is an Ultra intercept where Kesselring wants tighter formations and larger escorts "after the success against Ju 52 on the fifteenth".

Thanks in anticipation

Russell
