Re: P-51 loss on 2 April 1945
Hello,
Have looked through the lists of MIA's still not yet recovered for the 2nd April 1945 and found two P38's( 1 14FG, 1 82FG ), five P51's ( 2x Austria, I China, 1 Hungary 1 North Sea ?) and five P47's ( 3x 27FG, 1 79FG, 1 86 FG), only one P51 pilot seems to be anywhere near.
HASSELL, Edward M - 814685 - 2Lt - P-51 - 44-13814, 364FG/385FS. MACR 13965.
Thing is he was reported to have turned back but had gone into the sea, search only found oil slick though, also I do not think that he would have reached so far inland when returning over the Continent but just maybe if out of fuel and in a long glide ?? Thoughts on this please ?
Alex
