Re: Set of photos - Cham airfield and others (?) 1945
WoW! Christian thank you for the links! Amazing pics from Austria!

The B-24 is a B-24J(44-41108) of 747. BS 456. Bomber Group, 15 AAF. The plane was lost during a raid to Prag (March 25, 1945)

I have no idea where cham airfield was. In the mentioned book it's located as Linz Hörsching or maybe Gmunden. If you notice the mountains in the background Gmunden is more realistic.

Cheers, Simon
