Bf 109 massacre of 24 March 1945 (359th FG)
On 24 March 1945 a flight of Mustangs of the 369th FS of the 359th FG bounced fifteen Bf 109s that were setting up a landing pattern over Eiklon airfield. In the one-sided battle, thirteen of the 109s were shot down with the other two being damaged.
The victories were awarded to: Capt. Collins William F 2 1st Lt. Kelly Dale E 1.5 1st Lt. Lancaster Robert T 2 2nd Lt. Mcgehee Fred S 2 Maj. Parsons James W 1 1st Lt. Tenenbaum Harold 1.5 1st Lt. Thomson Bryce H 1 Capt. Thomson Robert C 2 Does anybody have any information of the Luftwaffe unit involved in this slaughter? Also I didn't manage to find any information on the airfield mentioned.
