Re: A-20 in USAF use at UK in Nov/Dec 1943
are you sure those were USAAF units ?
the English flew the Boston, with 88, 107 and 342 Squadrons around that time, and it would make sense if they were with Typhoons ? the 8th had some BGs of B-26s, which were later assigned to the IXth AF |

Re: A-20 in USAF use at UK in Nov/Dec 1943
which to correct my statement, the B-26s had already been transferred by this time
Dec 2nd, I show a small raid, 12 Mitchell IIs from 98 and 11 Boston IIIs from 88 Squadrons were out on a raid I see a Tiffy making a claim and a Spit V making a claim for that day but I am not that good at this sort of stuff |

Re: A-20 in USAF use at UK in Nov/Dec 1943
Neither the 9th nor the 8th Air Force flew on this date. These bombers were from RAF units.
IIRC A-20 units only joined the 9th AF in 1944. In 1943 USAAF used only B-26 as medium bombers from England. |

Thank you for the answer.
Any hint which RAF units then did this raid? |
