Any information on 2641st Special Group - USAAF

[Adriano Baumgartner]

Nick, thank you for the information about your books. I knew "Air War Italy" by name and did not know that it was so complete. I thought the main focus was other kind of operations. I surely will have a look at it in a near futur ( after ordering one ! ).
Tony - Do have no words to say thank you! Very useful sites and interesting news. I did know the Carpetbaggers, but did not know those other Special Groups in the Mediterranean Front. Really wonderful! I will certainly now have access to the information I am seeking for ( one claim by Hptm Hans Krause on 22 November 1944 and a claim by Maj Paul Zorner on the night of 5/6 March 1945 ).
Thank you again guys, you were very kind!
Yours
Adriano

Adriano,

My sister's father-in-law flew with this group out of Brindisi and I was able to obtain all of his mission reports at the NARA. It took a number of hours and although only 2 of his 24 missions were eventful, it is interesting reading. There is quite a wealth of info there. If you find the mission in particular, i.e., the date, aircraft, especially pilot name, the next time I am over there I can gather more info.

If there was a combat we tried to cover it (especially because there weren't that many to choose from in Italy in 1945!).
