Re: B-24 Losses
John,
According to my MTO B-17/24 missions file, on March 1, 1943 the 98th and 376th BGs raided Naples (B-24s); and the 97th and 301st BGs (B-17s) raided Palermo. On March 2, 1943 the 97th and 301st BGs raided Tunis and La Goulette, respectively. Enjoy! Frank.

Re: B-24 Losses
On these dates, RAF flew also Liberator bombers in MTO, and one of 178 Sqn was lost during a raid on Naples on 4-5 March 1943. No losses for 1 and 2 March 1943, but they may have been active over Italy.
