Re: Lt Luma*of 418 Sqn
The joint combat report for Lt James Luma Nav. F/O Finlayson on a day ranger with F/L MacFadyen Nav. F/O Wright shows Luma's claim for a Ju W34 was 1835 hrs while his claim when he rejoined MacFadyen 10miles S/W of Luxeiul for a Ju 52 was at 1850 hrs . A French article refers to the loss of the Heinkel of FFS B-15 as being at Saint-Genis-de-Saintonge around 1345 hrs falling to the 4th Fighter Group USAAF (my French needs Google Translate support) . It would seem the Ju 52 claimed by Luma and seen to crash and explode in wooded country was probaly not from a training unit . If any one has a copy of the Balss Luftwaffe Losses and claims for March 1944 it might throw more light on this
