great group of guys ........ and you did hear final confirmation by the historian about the groups claim to fame : no bombers lost under their protection is finally scrubbed out after too many years. no the silly statement of only 25 bombers lost under their care. march 24, 45 10 B-17's lost of the 15th AF to jets of III./JG 7, claims of 8 jets shot down when only 4 were hit the pilots bailing out, and one of them flown by ace Alfred Ambs was actually shot down by return .50's of the third B-17 he was attacking, he had already torn the wings off of 2 Fortresses with his forward 3cm's
I didn’t know that. I agree, a great group. Interesting that they couldn’t get their facts correct. That’s going to make a number of sources inaccurate including museum videos such as the one at Fantasy of Flight in Polk City, Florida, which houses/displays a restored P51 unit. http://p249.news.mud.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070401/ap_on_re_us/tuskegee_airmen Tuskegee Airmen were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal last week. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070329/ap_on_re_us/tuskegee_airmen
