Re: Help With MACR 3659

Hello Bill,
Have you seen this site ?
http://www.forcedlandingcollection.s...dillypete.html

From "Losses of the 8th & 9th AF's" vol 3. page 43
MACR 3659: T/O Seething, assigned target Berlin-Tutow, Germany.
This B-24 was not seen after take off and probably joined another formation. A/c landed at Bulltofta airfield, Malmó, Sweden. 10 INT.
Note: A/c was repaired on 13th May 1944 and returned to England on 2nd July 1945.

From "Making for Sweden" part 2 the USAAF. Pages 41/56. covers the 9th april 1944, ten a/c landed in Sweden that day and seven crew members from a further two a/c that crashed in Denmark escaped to Sweden.
Case Number 67.
42-52118 had been hit by flak in the outer right wing, a large hole had been torn out of the fuselage and the right outer engine was probably leaking oil. The a/c was test flown on 17th May 1944.
