2 P-38s lost 11 October 1944 Verviers?

Hi guys

On 11 October 1944, P-38s erroneously bombed Verviers, which was occupied by US forces. It was reported that US AA brought down two of the P-38s. Any ideas? Squadron/Group/Casualties?

Seems like 370th FG or 474th FG may have been candidates.

Cheers

Hello Brian
Sorry no such loss in this area that day , the only incident in Verviers area the 11th was an accident at T/O from an auxilliary field of a L-4B

Many thanks Flupke

I couln't find any trace of losses - perhaps a couple were damaged. Claims according to US AA commander (Colonel Charles Patterson) at Verviers.

Cheers
