9 AF ? P-47 airfield attacks March 1945

[David Pausey]

Hi

Thunderbolts attacked three airfields in Germany prob on the 14-3-45.
They were Echterdingen, Boeblingen and Hailfingen airfields.
Kent D. Millers 8AF book has no ground claims for this day and I can find no RAF claims either, so did the 9th AF make any claims for E/A on the ground ?

Any help would be great.

Regards

David

David,

Some 9th AF FS claimed for german planes on 14.3.45 but i don't know if it was on the ground or in the air. Perhaps this could help :

406 FG / 513 FS : Ar 234 damaged south Dortmund
368 FG / 395 FS : Me 109 (Frankfurt area)
Me 109 damaged (same area)
365 FG / 388 FS : Ju 88 near Reamgen
474 FG / 428 FS : 3 Me 262 damaged (Remagen area)
368 FG / 397 FS : 7 Me 109 (Mainz area)

And what about 12 AF ?

Hi

Echterdingen and Boeblingen are both near Stuttgart and the 9 AF claim are for e/a in the air. All I know about the 12th or 15th air force's is they were involved in a air battle over Hungary.

Thank you

David
