Re: Lancaster supply drop to Yugoslavia
Rather than speculating that some stray Lanc landed in Italy or North Africa in 1943 and got co-opted into clandestine ops by a squadron equipped with Halifaxes
The squadron records state that two Halifaxes were sent out for the op. The escorts escorted two aircraft. Why do we have to look for a strange conspiracy or very secret shannanagins to account for why a fighter pilot could not tell one black four engined bomber from another.
The Luftwaffe often could not tell the difference, hence the claims for Lancs at the time of Arnhem on daylight resupply missions. Why should the Americans be any better
Sorry, its been a long day and is only 11:00
