Re: Mystery Liberator crash

Not sure what information is accurate or not, but Chipping Ongar, 87th Transport Squadron, and B-24 don't seem to align with any of the information below.


Wiki shows the 302 Transport Wing as being stationed here,


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/302d_Air_Divisionand the Groups/Squadrons composed of,



Groups
  • 27th Air Transport: 1 September 1944 – 5 April 1945; 18 July – 15 October 1945
  • 31st Transport: 1 September 1944 – c. 4 September 1945
  • 435th Troop Carrier: 15 July 1947 – 26 June 1949
  • 514th Troop Carrier: 17 October 1947 – 26 June 1949
Squadrons
  • 310th Ferrying: c. 1 May – c. 25 August 1945
  • 311th Ferrying: c. 18 July – c. 15 September 1945
  • 320th Transport: 18 July – 8 August 1945.
and the aircraft flown as,

C-47 1944–1945
C-46 1945
C-64 1945

No 87th listed here either. http://www.ordersofbattle.darkscape....z_Wing-302.htm
