Regensburg - No Place To Hide
On August 17th, 1943, a daring double strike took place against the Me-109 assembly plant at Tegensburg and the ball bearing plant at Schweinfurt. As the B-17's of the 4th Bomb Group crossed the Dutch coast en route for Regensburg, the fighters of JG26, based nearby, commenced a protracted aerial assault but were unable to prevent the ultimate success of the mission. In this print we experience the dramatic intensity of the air battle over Holland as a pair of Me-109G's form 9/JG 26 flash through the formation of the 100th Bomb Group, while an Me 110 (lower right) stalks the B-17s and reports their position.
