Hello Horrido

The answer to what happened to Goffin probably lies on the German side. There are reports that he was downed by flak but the official reason is still listed as unknown. What we do know is that he crashed near Reckange Friday morning September 8, 1944. He was reportedly in control of the aircraft and tried to belly in on a country road but was not successful. He was horribly burned and his remains were hidden by local resistance fighters who honored him with a temporary grave. It would be nice to know if the flak theory is correct or if he was intercepted by fighters.

Gilmore's mission on the 11th of September was reportedly Koblenz-Giessen.
