A.,

According the MACR lists 36th FG lost two P-47s on 7 Oct 1944: 42-26061 and 42-26469.
Both serials don't appear on footnote.com yet, but what's interesting is that the aad.archives.gov website gives two POWs of 36th FG that day as well (just toy a bit with the search parameters):

2nd Lt William M. Young III and 2nd Lt Herbert M. Carr Jr.

Couldn't find more...

Regards,

Leendert

Good Evening Heuser !

Pilot Young crashed with his THUNDERBOLT s/n 42-26061 at about 15:30 hrs near Sessenbach, District Unterwesterwald, close to Montabaur. This is filed in German report J 2329.

THUNDERBOLT s/n 42-26469 came down, according J 2330, at about 17:00 hrs, near Hof, District Oberwesterwald. The Pilot was safe.

Hope, this helps.
