Re: 23rd August 1943 losses over Northern Germany ( due to P-38 action )

Hello Adriano:

Are you quite sure of your date of 23 August 1943? I noted that the USAAF chronology website shows no USAAF ops in the ETO on that date:

Also noted that The Luftwaffe Over Germany: Defense of the Reich by Caldwell & Muller states that: 'The weakened Eighth Air Force flow only six missions in the 19 days following Schweinfurt-Regensburg (on 17 August 1943), all to targets in France and the Low Countries'

Regards

Don W
