Re: Air battles results on 15 September 1943 / France
According to my files, for september 15 1943, german airfields at Romilly-sur-Seine were visited by 87 Fortresses, Chartres A/D and many industrial targets by 186 Fortresses from USAAF. American pilots claimed and lost following planes :
334th FS claimed for one FW190 damaged SW of Paris. 96th BG suffered 4 B17 lost over France. (Paris area). 100 bg lost 2 B17 93 BG lost 1 plane (B24 Liberator) due to german nightfighter. Ask if you want more details about crews and planes. Good luck. Stephane Muret |
