Could someone who has access to Bomber Command War Lossses 1945 help me to identify the victims? ( Squadron, serial number, crew names, code of aircraft and fate of crew )
It seems that Lt Doring of 10./ NJG 3 claimed a B-17! Flying at night? I do know that several "Fortress" flew with RAF Squadrons, but in 1945? It seems a bit strange. However my main interest is to identify the victims of Oblt Briegleb.
Thank in advance for all who helped with this querie...
