Lambert says further:
"On 8 February, during a sweep near Vienna that followed bomber escort, the 37th Squadron was attacking rail targetīs when Lt Lawrence Bach spotted a flight of boogies in the distance. He gave chase and overtook some eight biplane trainers flying in tight formation. Bach dispatched two, probably destroyed a third, and damaged a fourth."

That location is puzzling and questionable. The little single-engine aircraft used by NS and Aufkl. units in Croatia occasionally were flown to Graz for overhaul or engine replacement, but I have never heard of any going all the way to Wien, especially at a time of extreme fuel rationing and the high danger of running into Allied fighters over southeastern Austria.
