Hello Ed, and Gabor,


First, thank you Ed for shareing these two photos of the B24.

Gabor, are you 100% sure of the details you give above re serial number etc ?

I may be wrong but I think that it could be more likely to be a/c "29" from the 724th Bomber Squadron, 451st Bomber Group that was lost on the 25th April 1945. Serial number 42-95342. a B24 H - 30 - FO

The a/c number would be correct, the light colour bands around the motors would fit too.
and I think that the photo shows an "H" model.

She was said to have been hit by flak but what became of the crew at this time I do not know. Carl-Fredrik Geust has her landing at the Base of the 468 BAP, 5 VA where ever that was ? He has at least three B24's landing in Soviet area on the 25th .

Also the B24 behind, in camouflage, couldn't it be a Red Star on the tail ?

night and thanks again.

I am still seeking Soviet P51's
