Hello,
of course it was 223 Sqn, 232 Wing, Desert Air Force.
See many 223 Sqn photos at http://maketarstvo.net/forum/viewtop...ight=baltimore.
All Yugoslavs mentioned above arrived to 223 sqn on 26.11.1943.
On 19.12.1943 bombed a ship between Pašman and Vrgada (Baltimore FA564 'Y', and had some more missions in that plane).
On 13.1.1944 (mission to Loreto B.985256 from Foggia Sat.1 - Celone) their plane was FA395 'V', hit by AA fire. Pudarić was wounded, but damage to the plane was negligible (listed wrongly in the squadron's summary as 15.1.1944). I am not sure, but believe 'V' was 105 mission V-Vera.
Zoran
