The Ghost Bombers website is 10 years old today.
To mark the occasion, there's an expanded and remastered 25th Anniversary de luxe reissue of an article I had published back in November 1989 about
a I./KG 200 spy-dropping mission over Belgium. Many more sources have become available since I researched the original.
The other new things this month are:
- Information about 2/Lt. Peter J. McGirr of the 414th NFS, shot down by an Fw 190 of NSG 9. (This new material comes by courtesy of Lt. McGirr's niece, Ellen Manzo).
- A visit by General der Schlachtflieger Hubertus Hitschhold to SG 4 in Piacenza, Italy in June 1944.
- SG 4 in Normandy: more about the defence of the Distelfink radar station at Douvres-la-Délivrande.
- More about Bf 109s of 3./NAG 13 in Spring and Summer 1944.
- Geschwader Bongart: identification of another Junkers W.34 belonging to the unit.
- Operation Dragoon: reference to another He 111 of Stab II./KG 26.
The Me 262 "S" marking: more about the Sichtungsstelle General der Jagdflieger.
