Hi all airwar searchers !

I'm looking for any information about medium bombers of the 9th' attack on Prüm, Bitburg, Jülich on september 29 1944. Several Havoc were lost. I'm looking for units involved and losses, on target and on way home.

Thank you all

Stephane Muret

Hello Stephane,
According The 9th Air orce by Rust 416 BG attacked Bitburg in the morning. Two A-20's lost.
In the afternoon Julich M/Y was attacked. Three A-20's from the third flight of the second box went down over the target.
Not much, but it may help.
Paul

LAST NEWS about my searches

It's possible the plane i'm looking for was Havoc from Lt K. Baublitz. Is anybody know this pilot from 410 BG 645 BS s/n ?

Thanks
