Hello Victor

Many thanks, any photos avialble ? I have a photo from USAF recon photos taken in 1943 from a Liberando depicting a Roumanian Wuerzburgs ( ground approach radars today called GCA ) in conjuction with 88 mm AA , can you identify them for me, where they related to night fighters or AA and Day Fighters?

Many thanks
Alex

After 23 Aug. 1944 were used in west campaign? Me110 had have day missions against Russia? Were used for ground attack? But against russian night planes? Iama

There was a claim for a B-24 on 1 August 1943, by the squadron's CO cpt. av. Marin Ghica, who was also KIA that day. The motives for this an the fate of teh airplanes after 23 August 1944 are mentioned by Titus Axente in the interview we tok him. Read here
