Banja Luka Airdrome #1?
On 29 May 1944, P-38s of the 82d Fighter Squadron attacked Banja Luka airdrome #1 (I assume the allied designation). According to Henry deZeng, the Banja Luka airfield attacked on 29 May was "Banja Luka - Zalužani" North of Banja Luka. I believe that this is likely correct, but when looking at American pilot descriptions of the airfield, the airfield they attacked seems to have been roughly oval in shape, while descriptions of Zalužani do not mention an oval shaped airfield, and contemporary pictures I have seen also do not show a discernible oval shape. Meanwhile, the landing ground located closer to the city of Banja luka was definitely oval in shape.
Is anyone here familiar with the air war in Yugoslavia/Bosnia and aware of this attack? Was the attack in fact made on the Banja Luka - Zalužani airfield? Thank you!
