Could someone tell me the bombing missions for the 17th September 1944, for Operation Market Garden - The Unit, the target and the amount of aircraft lost Thanks
Good question. This could get interesting... especially if we do not restrict it to just that one day. Me = on smartphone / holidays. No access to references...
Hello Fred Shall I change it to the Complete Operation? Yea I to do believe this topic could get interesting
I am a big fan of the ''Advanced Edit'' function here - (especially the bit that lets you clean up topic titles for some time..)
Ps: You can sort http://lostaircraft.com/database.php?sid=bbfc0f25ba0e07311056a5de7b0035c7 by date and quickly skip through to that date. One minute learning curve trick, re-numbering the url. The results can tell you a surprizing amount.
I can only add the following....... 17-18 September 1944 Operation Market Garden. 241 Aircraft made two diversionary sweeps - one to the Dutch coast and one into Holland in order to to draw up German fighters from Southern Holland. This intention was not achieved. No aircraft lost. Minor operations during this time were...... 42 Mosquitoes to Bremen and 6 to Dortmund. 29 RCM sorties - 29 Mosquito patrols. No aircraft lost.
