FRE 9954
IMAGEAn Aerodrome in Nancy, France after being strafed by the 479th Fighter Group, 18 August 1944. Gun camera image. Colonel Hubert Zemke (commander of the 479th Fighter Group) has handwritten on the reverse: 'Nancy/ Essey Airdrome (Flughafen) being attacked by 479th Ftr Gp 18 Aug 1944. Lt HP Grenning 43 Fitr Sq trying to line up on this HE 111K his range and angle of attack is good but a tree and telephone lines are a hazard. Even so, his score that day was 1-0-0 111K, 1-0-2 JU 88s. Notice an e/a is about to explode at the centre right of the photo. A claime of some one just ahead of him in the straffing party.'
