Great stuff, first time to see it , and indeed very interesting document ,I was hopping to see on that document the 5th PRS and 32nd PRS losses and some target photos on Aug 1944 over Ploesti and an other over Reghin airfield Romania but maybe I expected too much . The single loss documented I have is on Aug 30, 44 one day prior 52nd FG mission to Reghin , possibly shortly after departure from Bari crashing into Adria Sea Many thanks Alex |
