rest of the story
It was damages on May13th 1944 , by a bomb probably drop by a P40. The repaired it went back to GR2/33 . on september 21st 1944 it was sent in reco mission over Belfort-Mulhouse area piloted by Lt Labadie.
On october 2nd it was hit by german flak over Belfort , and belly landed killing two cows in a field not 200m from my grand-father's farm in Belfort Area . The pilot Lt Bourdier was captured , anf the machine was set on fire . My grand-gtrand father did took a large part of the wing , which was still in the farm when I was a child 30 years ago.
My father aged 6 on october 1944 remembers clearly the events 60 yers later.
Any information on Ltt Bourdier will be wellcome too.
