Re: Fleet Air Arm / No.24 Naval Fighter Wing - April-May 1944

Hello/Bonjour,

I have done some research (a book by Roland Bohn - 1998) and so far below here are the dates when both Squadrons carried out missions. Sometimes in cooperation with Royal Air Force Squadrons. In lack of ORBs, do books about the Fleet Air Arm, the Seafire or others, give details, information regarding these missions and losses? Any assistance is welcome.

Best regards,
Frederic
