P-47D lost on 26 April 1945 ( 57th FG, 64th FS )
Good night to all friends!
This is a question to someone who knows about the USAAF. I am particularly interested to know the serial number, code letters and "surname" ( if the airplane had one ) of the P-47D flown by Lt. Albert B. Nickels from 64th FS, 57th FG in Italy on 26th April 1945. He was shot down by Flak and survived a terrible crash. Thanks in advance for the answers Adriano PS: I do not know if he is still alive. We kept in touch for some years but lost contact. |

Yes, FrankieS!
It must be this machine...and the mission description he sent me, although a bit different is about his last mission - this same mission ( 74th ). Have you read the article? He was born again! Trully a miracle.... Thanks for the serial number! Yours Adriano |
