Hi all,
On Dec 18 120 P-38s from the 1st and 82nd Fighter Groups flew fighter escort for bombing missions to Odertal, Blechhammer, and Oswiecim and 44 P-38s from the 14th Fighter Group escorted 47th Bomb Wing to Florisdorf Oil Refinery in Vienna.
On Dec 26 thirty-two P-38s from the 82nd Fighter Group escorted the 47th BW (B-24s) to railroad bridge at Ora and Avisio River Viaduct at Parona di Valpolicella, plus several alternates: railroad bridge at Mezzacorona, and the rail lines near Roverto and Lavis.
Another 82nd FG's twenty-six P-38s bombed the bridge at Latisiana, but missed.
