Re: 23 Dec 42 with P-38 fight over Bay of Buscay
Martin,
Now understood it was a full Squadron moving/transfer to other Theater of War, with a scale on Gibraltar...however things get a bit confused (at least for me).
Were the A-20 and the other 3 mentioned P-38 shot down? Or they ran out of fuel or were forced to ditch or emergency landings due to technical problems (single-engine operation, etc)?
There was just one KG 40 patrol (4 machines) or more than one?
Who bounced the A-20 and P-38 as previously informed by Gilles?
Does someone do have the weather report (WX) for that day on South Europe? Maybe this can help Gilles, most particularly if there were thunderstorms and the prevision of icing.
Anyway, an interesting puzzle here that am sure will be, historically solved and clarified.
A.
