56th strafing mission

Jan 20, 2004 1 Replies

I have misplaced my Osprey book on the 56th. Can anyone tell me what day and what squadrons were involved the first time the 56th went on the deck after an escort mission, resulting in that great footage of Zemke strafing an airfield?


Without reading the book "Zemke's Wolf Pack" as told to Roger E. Freeman has gun camera stills hitting the refueling lines at Hunsun/Flensberg airfield showing the hits on 3 Heinkels. It is dated 15 April 1944. I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but it's been 10 years since I last read it. HTH Warren I'm feeling much better now.......
