15th Air Force in the East
Hello reading about 15th AF I came along to some incidents, when 15th FG had "field days" over german aircraft operating in Poland, Hungary and Romania. Which Luftwaffe, romanian or hungarian units were involved and their real losses? What were the german names for the airfields?
1) On 25.07.44 307FS/31 FG claimed 27 Ju.87s and 1 unlucky Ju.52 encountering a Stuka Group over polish Mielec A/D on the return from mission FRANTIC III flying from Poltava A/D. Reportedly they were from Obstlt. Rudelīs SG.2. Total US losses on FRANTIC III were 10 P-51s and 20 P-38s.
2) On 29.08.44 and 31.08.44 4FS/ 52 FG claimed dozens of 100 Me.323 transports encountered on a czech airfield during a bomber escort mission in strafing attacks.
3) On 15.09.44 325 FG claimed 2 Ju.52s over Greece.
4) On 12.10.44 5 FS/ 52 FG strafed Seregeyles A/D in Hungary and claimed a lot of a/c on the ground as well 5 s/d in the air.
Thanks in advance
