Gentlemen,

Please advise how the loss of this plane was reported in GQ. This happened on July 2, 1942.

I don't think so. Shield with w.n., other remnants were collected just after the event took place, in July 1942. I suppose bodies were burried just afterwards on the crash site.

Photo of Schild, or just reference in Army documents?

Account by comission that visited crash site, unfortunatelly without photo. But I think photoes were taken but not attached, due to unknown reason.
