Re: 12TRS Lt Biesemeir

Phil,

I've also browsed the cumulative loss list but found no operational loss for an F-6 (if that's the type?) Lt Biesemeier was flying on the 21st Dec 1944. I assume it was on a mission, hence KIA?

Biesemeier is mentioned just once on airforcehistoryindex.org with an accident on 29 June 1944, which turned out to be a forced landing at Key Field, MS with A-36 Apache 42-83741 (given as Riesemeier on aviationarcheology)
Given the type of machine here, I think he flew the F-6 in 10 PRG.


Biesemeier graduted in 1938 from Freeport High School, Freeport, IL and enlisted on 24 Apr 1942 at Chicago, IL.
There's a picture of him on wwiimemorial.com.

Will look further.

Regards,

Leendert
