What happened on 14.01.1945 at Köln-Wahn airfield. JG 26 had quite a lot of casualties at the airfield and around due to an attack of the Mustangs of the 78th FG( see below). At the same day the bridges over the Rhine in Cologne were bombed.
Were the P-51 escort fighters released to conduct airfield attacks?
