I take it from yours and previous posts that the FG providing escort cover in this axis of Operation was indeed the 352 FG?
This being the case, are there any pointers as to where I can look to see which BG's on 29-Apr-44 and were consequently covered by the 352 FG?
Any help in this matter really will be very much appreciated indeed.
Regards Richard.

Abbot was leading 328FS/352FG on this day. He could not locate his assigned B-17s (almost certainly 3rdBD- 1st TF) attacking Berlin, then Magdebird. He led his squadron down to attack airfields. He led the squadron west from Neuhaldersleben and encountered a 109 coming from west to east..
He shot it down but it was too low for the pilot to bail out and it crash landed at high speed.
