The 14th FG 'Mutiny' in Tunisia?
Guys:
I was reading Chris Shores' latest on the air war in Tunisia; at some point during the campaign the rather 'green' 14th FG took quite a beating at the experienced fighter pilots of the luftwaffe. In fact, at some point, I got the impression that the surviving war weary pilots staged a 'rebellion' towards their apparently 'clueless' higher command staff. As a result, a lot of the veterans got 'decorated' & then sent home-surprisingly without any apparent consequences and the Group rested, reconstituted & returned to action later in the campaign; Can anybody recommend any reading material on this 'incident'? TIA NM |
