Mosquito pilots MIA in Germany - Nidersachsen area.
 

Dear Friend,

I"m looking for list of all hitted Mosqiuto aircrafts in Niedersachsen Germany.
For me is interesting period 1944/45 and area around Papenburg (South-West side).
See this area:
http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8...ed=0CCcQ8gEwAQ

of course small villages (names) are easy to see after zoom :)

What you know more about:

"...On the 22nd of February 1945 - Operation Clarion, an allied bombing campaign involving approximately 9000 aircraft ...'' ???

Where I can find list of hitted Mosquitos during mission in 1945 ?

Best regards,

Kris

Re: Mosquito pilots MIA in Germany - Nidersachsen area.
 

Ok Guys,
I just get more details - this is area of:

Borsum // Herbrum -Landkreis: Emsland

in this area was crashed our aircraft. Of course data 22.02.1945 is not confirmed so please try check another, too.
IS here somebody who live near this area ?

Re: Mosquito pilots MIA in Germany - Nidersachsen area.
 

KRIS !

Give us a date and a time of the action, then we have a chance to provide you with an a/c and probably with names.

Hi,

I must come back to Papenburg and meet with one collegue. We must talk about it. But it will take some time.
