Re: Banja Luka Airdrome #1?

SCohen -

If you take the information I provided above in this thread's 2nd post, the information I provided for Banja Luka - Zalužani here [http://ww2.dk/Airfields%20-%20Yugoslavia.pdf ] and the ULTRA decrypts provided by Mr. Beale, you will see that there were Allied attacks on Banja Luka on both the 28th and 29th. Actually, there were daily attacks on the city and airfields for nearly a week. I have information on the others from various Axis reports. I think you may need to obtain everything you can on the subject from USAAF reports and sort everything out to eliminate the contradictions and confusion that exists. It looks to me like some of the details for the 29th were reported for the 28th and vice versa, and/or the P-38 pilots reported the mission of the 28th as occurring on the 29th.
