patelie is on a distinguished road
C-47 #42-101006 - H. Doering and crew - Mission Albany

Hello
On D-day, after dropping paratroopers in Cotentin peninsula, this plane from the 99th TCS was shot down and crash landed near Cherbourg.
P : 1st Lt. Doering, Harvey W., Jr
CP : 2nd Lt. Westrope, Thomas R.
RO : Sgt. Delistovic, John A.
CC : T/Sgt. Smith, James E.

All the crew was safe, hidden by the French until allied troops liberated the town on 25 june 1944.
I would like to find, if possible, a picture of the crew and any other information related to these men.
Thanks

PS : I already have their EE reports.
