Emergency landings at A-92 in Belgium
 

Hi all ,

On January 1945 two ships from 448 BG , 42-50469 and 42-51075 made a emergency at airfield A-92 St-Trond in Belgium.
The pilot of 42-50469 was 1st Lt Holt Carl H , the pilot off 42-51075 was Capt Swayze Jack. Does somebody knows the names of the other crewmembers.

Regards

Alain,

Not exactly pointing to an answer, but lots on 448th BG and other (crash)landings in Belgium here: http://willisrowe.com/DownloadableFiles/ROWE%20CREW.pdf

Lt Holt (O-821282) is mentioned as well with his crew, but then when posted to 715th BS in July 1944.

Groet,

Leendert
