Crashed Mitchell in Normandy at june 12 1944
 

Hello,

I am going to normandy this june with the grandson (and his son) of the pilot who flew the Mitchell FR149 ex 42-32283 NO-N of the dutch 320 sqn.
The crewmembers were Brand, van Haeften, van der Heijden and Smit.
They were shot down near Foret de Grimbosq and could all jump out.
They were captured and survived the war.

Any info about the plane, crashsite missions they flew is welcome!

Hi Lucas,

If you still seek information on NO-N, I may have a contender crash site, though I stress this is not confirmed.
