Re: Me 109 Attack on Catania Harbor Sept. 1943
Hi Dan,
The unit responsible for the afternoon raid on Catania was the II. Gruppe of Schnellkampfgeschwader 10, flying from Crotone in Italy. It was operating Focke-Wulf FW 190 fighter-bombers. The German unit claimed a barrage balloon shot down during the raid, and two FW 190s were lost during the return flight. The RAF's 81 Squadron intercepted the raid and claimed three FW 190s shot down, including Group Captain Hugo's 21st victory. There will be more information about the FW 190 raids against Sicilian harbours on 2 September 1943 in the forthcoming book by Morten Jessen and myself, Focke-Wulf Fw 190 over Sicily, which will be avialable later this year. Cheers, Andrew Arthy
