Re: Russian air attack on St Pölten, April 1945
Hi Chris,
On April 15, 1945 25 A-20 Bostons of the 17 VA, 244 BAD, 861 BAP bombed the Western part of Sankt-Pölten in 25 sorties with 37 hrs, 30 mins. total flight time. From the altitude of 2850 m the planes dropped:
137 FAB-100, and
143 AO-50-100 type bombs without any losses.
Fighter escort was provided by 8 Yak-3s of the 17 VA, 288 IAD, 659 IAP with 5 hrs, 40 mins. total flight time. No losses.
I hope this helps.
Cheers and Happy New Year!
Gabor
