Re: North Sea 8 Oct 44

On the 7th the 8th AF was quite active. Ruhland, Pölitz, Bohlen, Magdeburg and Kassel included

Half the airforce seems to have headed for Sweden (slight exaggeration). Ignoring the Baltic

43-38529 B-17 457BG ditched in North Sea - rescued
43-6719 P-51 4FG pilot b/o - picked up ASR launch
44-14555 P-51 479FG engine cut, baled out - picked up ASR launch
44-14577 P-51 479FG came down off Schouwen - came ashore Holland

8th October - quiet day for 8th AF

Nothing obvious for 9th AF on either day
