COMBAT OVER THE REICH
by Robert Taylor
Approaching
their target at he oil refinery at Zwickau, 60 miles south
west of Dresden, the 452nd Bomb Group's B-17 Fortresses were
bounced by 28 Me262 jets from JG 7. Screaming in from the
six o/clock position, the jet pilots singles out the 3rd division
just as they began their bombing run. The B-17 Fortress crew,
having lost part of the tailplane, desperately defend their
unwieldy bomber against the determined high-speed, by laying
a wall of lead in the path of the Me262s.
