Bonsoir, ci-joins les opérations de l'USAAF du mardi 27 avril 1944, trouvé sur le site :

Alors est-ce des P38 de la 8ème Air Force qui ont attaqué Creil en cible secondaire, ou est-ce des P47 ou P51 de la 9ème Air Force?
Dans tout les cas, sur le "Triton 22" , une famille entière a été décimé!
Amicalement jph
