Hello Alain

As far as I know Taylor Clyde was not became POW at any moment
#42-28919 was a former mount of Taylor in 360FS A/C before to be transferred to another unit when they move on P-51 .
This A/C crash landed at A-93 the 23 November 1944 2nd Lt Schultis Joseph Edward "Joe” O-824745 was safe , he became POW the 27/12/1944 on 42-28866 36th FG 22nd FS when crash landed in a pine wood in Vielsalm area (he was captured the 30th)

Regards
Phil
