15 AF 'Big Week' 22-Feb-44
I am hoping that someone might be able to clear up some details concerning the 15 AF on 22-Feb-44 during 'Big Week'.
There seems to be some conflicting figures concerning the numbers of B-17, B-24 bombers that took part, and also no details on the amount of P-38 escort fighters. I have seen mention of Despatched 284, Effective 197 (and also 204 & 206 as effective also). Can someone please detail the accurate number of 5 BW (Prüfening & Zagreb Airfield) & 47 BW (Obertraubling) aircraft that were despatched and subsequently effective? Also, i can find no details of the supporting P-38 FGs escort fighters, are there any details of numbers despatched known at all? if anyone can help at all it will be gratfully received. Many thanks in advance. Regards Richard. |
