Allied Claims 30 Apr- 1 May 1943

[Chris Goss]

As this is not normally an area I research, does anyone have the Allied claims for He 111s and Ju 88s in the Med on these 2 dates, especially the night

[Bruce Lander]

Hi Chris,
the claims for Ju88's + He111's are noted in C. Shores - "Fighters over Tunisia" I can post these for you if you want.
Happy New Year,
Bruce Lander

Bruce: If you could list them, I would appreciate it-I am only interested in those over the Med, not land. Many thanks and a HNY
Chris

Chris:

Just so you will not go down a blind alley, USAAF units made no claims for Ju-88s or He-111s on either date.
