60 & 64TCG in "Torch"
Hi,
Anything known of the C-47's used in Operation "Torch" by the 60 & 64 TCG ?
In particular the identities of the a/c used by each Group and in particular those that were lost . 60th from Cornwall 39 a/c to La Senis on the 7th November and 64th from Cornwall 39 a/c on the 9th November '42.
60TCG
3 a/c landed in Spain (one left her troops there and continued on to Algier's.
2 a/c landed in French Maroco.
1 a/c diverted to Gibraltar.
French Fighters forced 3 a/c to land end route.
2 a/c crash landed.
3 a/c forced 3 a/c to crash.
14 a/c lost , serial numbers ?
64TCG
Only 34 a/c made it to LA Xenia on the 11th November.
So 5 a/c lost, serial numbers ?.
So quite a few losses from both Groups but not much info available as far as I can find.
Ref: David Isby - Osprey Combat Aircraft 54.
Thanks
Alex
