Re: NJG 6 during night July 21/22 1944
Losses known to me
EW167/B No 34 Sqn LIberator
JA 521 No 37 Sqn Wellington
LN699 No 70 Sqn Wellington
LN808/B No 142 Sqn Wellington
LP204 No 150 Sqn Wellington
Regarding C-47, it was from 10 TCS/60TCG and was attacked (presumably) by Ju 88 while circling over LG, left wing and engine set on fire, exploded in the air at 23.35, 300 yards from drop zone (in todays Croatia). I have only info about Lt Largent - copilot, having been rescued. There were a few other reports from July '44 about Allied transport aircraft being attacked upon landing by Ju 88 - looking aircraft, considering ther times of attack that were around midnight and reports of four forward firing guns, there is possibility they were aircraft used by NJG6.
