Hello,
Thank you again for the information. Very interesting.
I have a short story the veteran told me about the plane(s) .
He don't know exactly which plane it was.
Quote:
On 8 April 1945 a plane such as this was shot down near Langensalza, Germany.
On13 April 1945 near Zeitz Germany a Junkers 88 bomber carrying a piggyback plane attempted to slip through the defenses of the entire Battalion of the 778th the entire 64- 1/2 Tracks shot down this JU 88 killing the pilot and all the occupants.
From 13-19 April the 778th AAA AW (Sp) Bn shot down 15 category one's, the following date the 778th engaged 15 of 21 German Planes scoring 5 categories 1 and 3 category 2's.
