Christian - unable to find any account of this for this day. The largest 1 day Ju 52 losses occured April 17th , 43. 9th AF Fighters from the 57th FG and 324th FG and British Spitfires from 92 Sq. attacked 90 Ju 52s and fighter escorts off the Coast of Tunis. 60 Ju 52s were shot down , 17 damaged , 16 fighters shot down , 11 damaged. This engagement known as " Palm Sunday Massacre ". During the 1st 2 weeks of April , 78 Ju 52's were shot down.
