May 25th battle over NW Sicily
The 1st FG attacked the Bocca di Falco air drome west of Palermo on 25 May 1943. They were engaged by enemy aircraft as they left the island and lost planes near Capo San Vito. I believe that JG/53 was involved but would like to know it there is any information about losses or claims by any other groups in that area that day or if any other groups were involved. The 1st identified their attackers as 20 Me 109s and 8 FW 190s. I have not been able to verify if any Luftwaffe FW 190s were involved.
Any other information about that attack would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
