P-51s vs FW-190s on 20/1/45 N. of Regensburg
On 20/1/45, at the border of Czechoslovakia and Germany, west of Pilsen, at about 30,000 feet, my flight of 4 P-51s intercepted an estimated 40 Fw-190s, both long and short nosed. They were diving on the last group of B-17s whose target was Regensburg. We shot down four. The SLET- Pilsen Air Historical Society was kind enough to send me the names of the pilots, their units and the type of plane they flew. All died. If any one is interested in their names and unit, please advise and I will post.
