Total Allied losses were one B-17, one P-38 and one C-47 destroyed, two B-17s severely damaged, two aircraft with slight damage, and seven others lightly damaged by splinters. The 1st FG journal mentions nothing about three 71st FS/1st FG P-38s being lost, and only records the destruction of one P-38 from the 94th FS/1st FG, one B-17 and one C-47.

Hello Andy, thanks for that. Any idea of the Ju 88 unit(s) ? Also do you have something similar for 2 and 9 January ? |
