a couple things............first and foremost thanks so much gents for these pics I am drooling.........yeah it's grandpa disease
Plan not unless the SturmFw and his buddies had monstorus drop tanks... NOT
Eric the mission was at night the most spectacular of the 3 was on the night of March 4/5 1945 Unternehmen Gisela. The Lancs/halis just got back from smacking Kamen and Ju 88G-6's of several gruppen at forward bases follwed the RAF 4 engine jobs back home. All hell broke loose with some 25 bombers going down over or near their bases by these intruders. 2 88's were shot down by home defence Mossies, with 1 Mossie falling to the guns of an 88G-6. The wayward home for the German crews was hellish as the storm front moved in with almost 0 visibility and several crews were MIA due to weather crashing it appears in the north sea. Several ju 88G-6's on strafing missions smasehd into building ans d trees, telephone poles by accident killing their crews....
two other missions with 18 Ju 88G-6's netted about 3 RAF a/c and then last mission by one fearless III./NJG 2 Ju 88G-6 crew shot down 1 RAF heavy.
Eric also back to the pics, the info on P-51 from 78th fg, Hubert Davis, the scores from him while flying Twighlight Tear, I hae him scoring 1 Bf 109 in the spring of 45 but the two Me 262's ? do you have more on him by chance. the 78th FG history is practically worhtless on following up on this guy. Is he still alive I wonder ? this would be fantastic if so....
