Re: P-51 loss on 2 April 1945
Danny:
I'm pretty sure that's our guy. To remove doubt, his ASN from the MACR was O-816947 and he was assigned to the 111th Tactical Recon Squadron flying out of Azelot, France when he was shot down.
Are there any further details on his recovery in the IDPF? The website that Laurent references indicates that a spotter plane landed near the crash prior to recovery of Lt. Sodermark by follow-on troops.
Best regards,
Paul
