Re: possible USAF F-84 or F-104 shot down near Strasbourg?
Thanks Bill,
If it maybe can help for a localisation, nearest towns of the "probable F-102" crash site are maybe given as LICHTENBERG, or REIPERTSWILLER or maybe ROTHBACH.
It seems you could be interested about another crash here in same area;
it concerns a canadian Sabre that crashed in the little village of Lichtenberg on december 5th 1960; I have had a statement of a villager who had observed the plane crah in the village (two civilain were lost as the plane crashed on their house).
The canadian pilot had bailed out very far from the crash site, maybe over Luxembourg according to that old man.
The plane I'm looking about isn't that one...but crashed just some kilometers from it. Sure "mine" was an USAF one.
I know a little bit more if the canadian one interests you.
cheers
