Am trying to get information regarding the Hungarian air attack on Tarnopol (Ukraine) Railway Center in May 1944. What was the date of the attack, what unit(s) involved, what were the results of the raid? I believe the unit was the Hungarian, Ju 88-equipped 102/1 Bomber Squadron, but not certain. Squadron Leader Imre Homera ? Have been able to find very little from other sources, so now inquiring here... Thank you in advance! markr

On June 1, the squadron had only 4 serviceable Ju 88As, based on Zamosc airfield, Poland. I cross posted your query on my forum, too, in the hope that someone else migth have the requested details: http://disc.server.com/Indices/181285.html

I have been interested, for some time, in operations and exploits of Romanian, Hungarian and Finnish Air Forces during World War II. Have found great information regarding the Romanian and Finnish Air Forces, but little regarding Hungary. Best regards, markr

All three titles bear the mark of György Punka. I recommend checking out these first.
