Re: 431 (Iroquois) Sqn. loss 25./26.7.1944
Dear all,
Are there any detailed crew reports available (from the five surviving crew members) about the circumstances of the loss of MZ858? I have the Flak claims details but also have a German night fighter claim that could be tied to this loss. Cheers, Theo |
