Help Interpreting Mission Report
Gentlemen,
I've got the summary report for the 364th FG's mission on 15 Aug 44 and have a couple questions. 1. The mission is described as "Target and withdrawl support 2nd Force FO 516 VIII FC". Can anybody decypher "2nd Force FO 516 VII FC"? 2. During an engagement with German a/c, the 384th FS "Called Balance Two-Two and Two-Three on “C” channel when bomber formations were attacked, but no response." Does anybody know what group/station used callsign "Balance"? In the book "The Wrong Stuff" by Truman Smith, the author refers to a P-38 squad with that callsign, but I can't find any other reference. 3. The abbreviation "B/F" is used throughout the report (eg. "The 384th chased them through the B/F to ...") I assume this means "bomber formation". Thanks ahead for any enlightenment, Keith |
