Hi Frankie,


which is the exact crash site:
Sieglar, at the intersection of Flachtenstrasse and Grabenstrasse. “The plane exploded on impact and burned out completely. Eight occupants of the aircraft could be identified, who were so badly burned that they were no longer recognizable as human beings”
Source: Eyewitness report on the crash, Troisdorf city archive B-2946

Hi, Manni, danke, great.
I am just keeping a large Excel file on any U.S. WW2 losses.


Would be great, though, if there would be one curated & annotated Internet database
where the combined data of all of us (and the book authors, and Mr. Baugher) would be gathered to have the most complete data. something like a WW2 Wikibase
(https://asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/)


than,
bye,
Frankie
