Blankenburg, Germany; Close air support mission 20 April 45 for 8 AD,
Greetings all,
Seeking information (if available) for a close air support mission 20 April 1945 in support of the 8th Armored Division assault on this relatively small city. Most likely carried out by units of IX Fighter Command. The 8 AD narrative for this action is available here https://www.8th-armored.org/aar/36hq...E-6JUXFMPL-TNY And the 8 AD larger involvement here https://www.8th-armored.org/books/le...oFxQ0L8cyFsekE i.e. "An air strike had been requested and exactly at 1000 on the 20th a 13-plane squadron appeared over the town. For 45 minutes the planes dive-bombed and strafed the city's defenses" Thank you in advance for any help determining what AAF unit flew this 20 April mission in support of the 8 AD.
