Gentlemen:

On 15 Sept 1944, I destroyed 2 JU-52s trying to land at an airfield on an island almost due West (10-12 miles) of Athens, Greece. The runway which ran approximately East and West(?) had a good sized hill to the south of the runway. Several JU-52s were parked along the runway, which were strafed by Barrie Davis, one of our pilots. In Googling the Island of Salamis, I think the airfield was located there. If so, can anyone tell me the name of the field and perhaps give a longitude and latitude for it? Our intelligence wrote up the incident and called the field Megara?? Thank you.

From there I flew at wave top level (for a couple of minutes) toward Kalamaki observing numerous dust trails from landing aircraft. However, by the time I got there, only one was still not in a revetment. I strafed what I believe was a JU-88 just he pulled into a revetment. Unbelievably, as I passed over the revetment, a man on the ground, running toward a mounted machine gun, picked up a rock and threw it at me. He had quite a good aim as the rock appeared to pass over my left wing. I intended going back for him but flak changed my mind.

Cordially, Art Fiedler
