Re: Anti Mosquito Ops with 6/JG 300 and 1/NJGr 10.

I am interested in learning as much as possible about Luftwaffe anti-Mosquito operations. This site http://www.gyges.dk/Anti%20Mosquito.htm provides some information, but were there any other units involved?

I vaguely recall reading that some day-fighter units were equipped with stripped-down/souped-up fighters in order to catch the Mossies, but were disbanded after a while for lack of success - or am I confusing these with the night-fighter units?

I would like to know of any modifications to improve the speed of fighters for this purpose, and what result they had.

I would also like to know how many successes anti-Mosquito units had, and what percentage this represented of attempted interceptions. Is this information available?

Thanks for any help.
