Regarding your two cents , if you determined tht 177 GvIAP was located on
Oct 14,44 South West and close to the Romanian border at Crvena Crkva
and Lt.Houghton last MACR known position was 15 miles SW of Budapest while Bell and as
you stated was 450 Km apart ( pse state the source of your info ) , that would narrow down
your search, though 15 miles SW of Budapest wasn't that close to Shadrin's unit either.

However on The American Beagle Squadron, 52nd FG in WWII ,
The 15th AF against the Axis, Checker Tail Clan , Stalin's Eagles first edition
332nd FG in WWII and 15th AF in WWII history books the
details are conflicting one an other and I'll still stick by Bell's
theory unless relevant facts can be brought up and prove otherwise.

While is worthwhile researching further, I am lacking
the time for deeper study neither the subject is on my
area of research .

A final note as into the Chetniks, suggest you read
a book callled "The Forgotten 500 " is all in there.
