Re: Dual P-47 Crash 4 October 1944 Near Munstereifel, Germany

Tony - it definitely is a small world. My Great Uncle was from Kittanning, PA, which is about 40 miles from Greensburg.

Horst - thanks as always for your helpful reply! I imagine Dustin's/my Great Uncle's a/c was removed shortly after the war and scrapped as it landed in or near the roadway. In keeping with the small world theme, I was reading a 2010 article from the Spangdahlem AF Base news regarding recovery of a P-47 wreck near Bitburg that quoted you. I have some familiarity with the general area as My Uncle was an Army Lt. Col. stationed in Germany for many years, during which time my Aunt & Uncle lived in Sembach.
