Title: Does anyone have "Jagdgeschwader 400: Germany's Elite Rocket Fighters" ?

It's an Osprey book. Looking for some info on page 98, which is not online, following on from an account on page 97, which is online.

As you may guess, the info has to do with Mosquitos...

TIA

Many thanks for that Lyric. I'll have to do as the authors have done, and look for the dates of raids on Politz.

The previous page describes an attack on a Mossie by Gerth in his 163, with one crew member baling out. I've no loss I can match it to for November, will have to snoop around a bit. I've one unexplained loss of a recce Mossie in September, with one POW, however I don't know if the 163s were flying then. Gerth seems to have been on 3./JG 400 from September, but it's all a bit tenuous.

Many thanks again Lyric, much appreciated.
