352 squadron based at Foggia, Vis and then Prokos.
The squadron carried out its first operational mission on the 18th August, 1944.
The first squadron commander was Captain Mileta Protić, Political commissar was Franjo Kluz, commander of "A" flight was Captain Ratko Jovanović, and commander of "B" flight was Captain Arkadije Popov. All three of these men were killed by the end of the year: a suitable indicator of the intensity of the fighting in the ground-support operations at the time. Protić and Popov are commemorated on the CWGC memorial in Malta, and Jovanovic in the CWGC cemetery at Belgrade.
Missing after 2nd attack. At Zepce attacked enemy column of over 200 M.T's. Intense light & medium flak.
