Re: P47 La Fayette - mission over Italy
Hi,
I am not able to tell if it is first or second attack of GC 2/5 "Lafayette"over the bridge of Ovada. May be one the two attacks did by another unit of French P-47. For 5/9/1944 Three P-47 of escadrille Lafayette for an armed reco Genes/Turin/Impéria and four for a sweep on Milan area. Any attack over Ovada. HTH Bertrand |
