Guys:

Need your help & your thoughts on the following:

Am reading Bob Goebel's 'Mustang Ace' book and a question came up; On April 21, 1944 the 31st FG made its first visit to Ploesti; they claimed 16 vics & suffered 4 losses; I checked my Romanian reading material (ADMITTEDLY rather sketchy!) and IF I recall correctly Romanians only suffered 4 losses from April to May; where any German Units involved & if so, what were THEIR losses? THIS Might well be the wrong forum but...oh well...

Another question RE: Bob Goebel: I read an article in passing that maybe it was Goebel and his flight that forced down Eric Hartman in his famous 'one-versus-many' dogfight against mustangs that he had to bail out due to fuel starvation....any thoughts on this? I did NOT get the article, mind you...so I am working from memory...

TIA
