Thanks a lot for your updates also same to you Swank. Given they dropped the flare
(flash ) at 6'000 ft and pilot was required to fly on steady course for sometime to
allow recon shots completed these flares illuminated the skies for a quite a while making
the bombers an easy hunt for the Luftwaffe night fighters in Bucharest and
those based in Bulgaria . Were there any countermeasures or enemy avoidance
procedure in place at 205th GP once the flashes were dropped ?
