Losses of RAF Recce Spitfires needed!
 
Does anyone have loss cards/data for Recce Spitfires lost between early August and mid September 1944 in the general area of east of Roermond, NL...north of Aachen, GE and west of Moenchengladbach, GE???
A tail wheeel of a Spitfire was found near Heinsberg, GE and eyewitnesses place the crash around the first week of September, a week or two before they were all evacuated due to the front drawing closer. Thanks, Danny

Probably does not fit your description but the following losses were found in EYES of the EIGHTH, a history of the USAAF 7th Photo Group:

5th September 1944
Spitfire PL782 (14th Squadron). Attacked by a pair of Me 262s and shot down near Stuttgart, Germany. Lt. Robert B. Hilborn was taken prisoner about 500 meters north of the town border of Stuttgart-Feuerbach.

8th September 1944
Spitfire MB952 (14th Squadron). Failed to return from a mapping sweep of the Siegfried Line. Eyewitnesses on the ground reported seeing this aircraft fly low over Reckange-les-Mersch, Luxembourg where it crashed near the town, killing Lt. Charles J.J. Goffin. Ironically this USAAF pilot was a Belgian volunteer. The crash site was less than 100 km from his home in Graide and the cause of loss was undetermined.
