Re: 405th Fighter Group - May 21, 1944
Thunder Monsters Over Europe has only one paragraph for 21 May 1944, on page 16:
"On 21 May the Group, with 51 aircraft led by Major Mostyn, swept over the Brest Peninsula with orders to strafe all railroad trains in the area. This mission proved to be the most successful of the month. Seven trains were strafed and numerous goods cars destroyed or damaged. Twenty-one locomotives were destroyed and four more were damaged. Two radio stations and their towers and a barracks were also attacked, and the area was left exploding and smoking. Lieutenant Wilson, of the 511th FS, was wounded in the arm by flak."
That's it, the next paragraph concerns 23 May.
