Grasshopper shot down by P-51s Dec 1944
In the book Eyes of Artillery it says that Lt Hugh K. Stephenson (should read Stevenson) of the First Army Air Section was shot down in an L-4/5 liaison plane by four P-51s in the confusion that existed in the early days of the German advance in the Ardennes, December 1944.
I assume that the "friendly" shoot down also happened somewhere in the Ardennes region of Belgium.
Who has more details or a more precise date? Should be around 16-20 Dec 1944.
Regards,
Leendert
