Mining of Danube on the night of 8/9 April 1944
Good night to all:
I would like to obtain more information about the mining of River Danube, carried out by aircraft of 205 Group ( RAF ) on the night of 8/9 April 1944. It is known that 3 x B-24 and 19 x Wellingtons took off that night. Was it a special Operation ( If yes, which was the code name ) and there were losses amongst the RAF aircraft? Thanks for the help Adriano

Adriano,
When you check this site http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/...ses/losses.htm it appears that Wellington LP139 was lost on this mission (8 April 1944). Regards, Leendert

Adriano,
A question on this topic was on this forum in 2006: http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=5806 The 12 lost aircraft that Csaba mentions were during the whole campaign. Thread of 2006 gives the details. Regards, Leendert
