"Moscowed"
Hello,
While going through the ORB of 5 SAAF Squadron, I've found at several time the word in "Moscowed" as in for example: Lt. v. d. Spuy took part in a sweep, "Moscowed" and returned early at 12:45. Is there anyone who knows what they meant by "Moscowed"? Best wishes/Håkan

Re: "Moscowed"
Just a guess, but I think in this context it means they had a failure of some kind, perhaps engine problems.
Here is a link that starts discussing engine problems before takeoff then uses "Moscowed" which seems to be in the sense of a a similar failure in the air: http://thoughtsonmilitaryhistory.wor...th-march-1943/ |

''Moscowed'' to do a Napolean or Hitler fail to meet the objective ?
