Pip Posted January 5, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 5, 2019 From what I can find on the Georgia Pilot they were shot down in Solvenia from " Fighters firing rockets" Anyone know what kind of planes might of shot them down? The letters date all the way up until March 18th one day before being shot down En route to bomb a vital aircraft factory at Steyr on 24 Feb 1944, the group was greatly outnumbered by enemy interceptors, but it maintained its formation and bombed the target, receiving a Distinguished Service Cross for the performance. On the following day, while on a mission to attack aircraft factories at Regensburg, it met similar opposition equally well and was awarded a second DUC.
