Actions over Central Italy: February-April 1944

Tonight, I’ve added quite an extensive section to http://www.ghostbombers.com about I./JG 2’s deployment to Italy in early 1944. I’ve tried to match up the claims and losses on both sides and there seems to have been some conspicuous overclaiming, not least by one Ritterkreuzträger.
Sources include: RAF Wing and Squadron Operations Record Books and pilots’ sortie reports; daily intelligence/operations summaries of the Mediterranean Allied Air Forces; Ultra decrypts; signals intelligence data; prisoner of war interrogation reports.
There are still some gaps in the operational record to fill but I think that this is probably the most comprehensive account that’s been put together to date.
