Re: 14th FG mission on 8 February 1945
NSGr. 7
2. Staffel operating from Varaždin along the Croatian-Hungarian border: 8 February 1945: C.R.42 belonging to the Gruppenstab shot down (location not reported). 8 February 1945: 3 C.R.42s from 2. Staffel shot down by Allied fighters (location not reported), Hptm. Eduard Jacob + 2 KIA. Since the little Falco biplanes operated at very low altitude, the P-38s must have broken away from the bombers to strafe targets in northeastern Croatia on the way back to Italy and ran into the biplanes by pure chance. HTH, Larry |
