Ju52 losses Ghisonaccia 29 September 1943
On this date French Spitfire Vbs of GCI/3 attacked a formation of seven Ju52/3M from III/TG2. The French claimed four destroyed and at least two severely damaged.
LW Sources indicate just two Ju52 destroyed but surely the Spitfires were able to inflict more damage than that? If not five slow-flying, relatively defenceless Ju52 escaped undamaged. French Spitfire claims in this period are remarkably accurate (they shot down two Ar196 in this combat according to LW records, and claimed three) and therefore this seems an unusual high overclaim. regards Keith
