Colleagues
I found this information
30/10 Detachment Squadron “G” Mission #18. Four aircraft, 2 B-25G’s (Flying aisson and Red nose Beckie) of 445BS and 446BS USAAF and 2 Beaufighters Mk.X (JM317/S and …./L) of 47Sqn. RAF, took off from Gambut #3 and El Adem at 13:50 - 13:47 for shipping strike mission in the harbour of Naxos island in the Aegean.
At 15:50 the formation reached Naxos island and attacked the German ships GA01 and GA54 that were anchored in the harbour as well as the GA92 that was out of the port. The German ships GA01 and GA54 heavily damaged
from attack but didn’t sink. Their crews acted fast and fire back at the time that the a/c’s turned off the target run and started to break for safety. Then they encountered a great deal of medium and heavy flak. Beaufighter JM317/S get damaged in one of the engines and forced to ditched 8 miles
North-east of the harbour (near Abraam bay) and B-25G “Flying Caisson” crashed in the sea 2 miles west of the port in position 37ο08'N, 25ο20’Ε.https://aviationarchaeology.gr/wp-co...in-Greece1.pdf Please help me determine how often American B-25s participated in anti-ship operations in the Aegean Sea in October-November 1943, and which units participated.
