Re: A ?? RE: B17s in North Africa/Tunisia;
Hello Nick,
I'm probably the last one on this board to accurately answer your question but, I'm currently reading "Messerschmidts Over Sicily" by Johannes Steinhoff and I believe you'll find some of your answers there. If you are referring to late 1943 in that region it seems that the fighter commands were not or could not get supplies, planes and/or experienced pilots as they had at the earlier (and more successful) times of the war along with moral and fatigue seemed a combination to ensure failure. Thats my best guess. I'm sure you'll get more (and better) information soon from the board. thanks Scott
