Loss of Kittyhawk IV FX740 of 112 Sqn RAF on 31 May 1944
On 31 May 1944 the Kittyhawk IV FX740 of 112 Sqn RAF was shot down near the Italian front line. It took off at 13:55hrs as part of 6 aircraft formation on an Armed Recce. Targets were attacked at grid G.5172. During these attacks it is believed that this aircraft was shot down by AA as it failed to return, and the pilot, Sgt George Fredrick Davis,1614505, RAFVR, was KIA. FX740 carried the cartoon character Wimpy forward on the cowling.
My question is: can someone tell me where the grid G.5172 was ?
Thanks in advance
