Re: Flak around Airfields?

Hi;
according to "Me 262" Vol. 3 (Classic Pub.)

...the Germans surrounded the airfields with anti-aircraft guns; Rheine, for example, had 160 quadruple 20 mm cannon positioned on its east-west runway..." (referring to defending jets against attacks from Allied fighters while taking off and landing.)

Ouch!

Paul
