15th October 1943
On this date a fighter sweep was made over Holland.
The newly arrived 55th FG took part with 36 P-38 aircraft. P-47s also took part. So exactly how many aircraft took part in this operation? Specific details would also be of interest. Regards, Francis

Re: 15th October 1943
This was Field Order 157 the first mission for both groups, the only 2 flying, a sweep to Netherlands. No claims or losses.
36 P-38s from 55FG , 32 P-47s from 356FG (1 from 359FS, 15 from 360FS, 16 from 361st); one of the 361st was Selden Edner an experienced pilot on loan from the 4FG who led the mission. Nick Last edited by Buckeye30; 6th May 2020 at 23:31.
