Re: Major Robert Charles Curtis - 52nd FG ace
Adriano
Looked up into the 52nd FG and JG 77 history books , both books are not very
clear about the event dated July 15,44 . The 52nd FG attributes the kills to Curtis
Art Johnson , Pretzer and Elmer Mendonca near Turnul Severin. The JG77 indicating
that Franz Trowal crashed near Cocorova while an other pilot named N.N. of III./JG77
was also downed on the same battle near Targul Jiu though managed to bail out or
crash without injuries .
Also a Romanian pilot by name Popescu Georghe was KIA near Brasov on July 15,44
not sure however if was related to 52nd FG
Do you or someone else have a photo of Frank Trowal ?
