Re: August 1944 - Strafing onto Szombathely / Steinamanger
Thanks for this good info Gabor, the local time can help.
I have done some research of my own for this date. That day, two attacks in the vicinity of Vienna: the Lobau oil storage facility and an oil refinery at Korneuberg with three Fighter Groups for the cover of bombers (Lobau: 1st and 14th FG on P-38s – Korneuberg: 332nd FG on P-51s). The only one fitted with P-51s machine is the 332nd FG, so it could have been fighters from that Group that attacked the airfield. But at the moment, it is just an assumption...
Best regards,
Frederic
