Ju88s lost 18/19 April 1943 Algiers
Hi guys
On the night of 18/19 April 1943, a Beaufighter crew from 600 Squadron claimed two Ju88s shot down over/near Algiers. I've seen it written that these were probably aircraft from I/KG54 and III/KG77. Has anyone details of such losses - identities/fates of crew? Cheers Brian |
