Re: Did Radio Traffic Provide Warning of 8 AF Raids?

On a related note:

August 8 1944 about 45 planes from 4FG escorted the Langham wing Beaufighters on a flight to Norway. As they approached the shore the Beaufighter pilots were worried because the Americans in their Mustangs were chatting on the radio. When radio silence was prompted the the Americans replied something like this: "Don't you want the Germans to come and fight us?"
To my knowledge 4FG nor any other american escort units were used again for Strike Wing escort missions.
