Maurice B. Thibert, 370th FG or 474th FG
Hello,
I’m interested in the fate of 1st Lt. THIBERT MAURICE B. (Army Serial Number: O-675954)
He was from Wayne County, Michigan.
Can anyone confirm if he was with the 370th Fighter Group or with the 474th Fighter Group?
According to the MACR Database three P-38’s with the 370th FG and one with the 474th FG went missing that day.
Maurice B. Thibert was killed in action, May 23rd 1944 and was first buried by the Germans at the cemetery of Kortenberg, Belgium. My grandparents witnessed his P-38 go down as he came in straffing a German Flak site, located at the village of Erps-Kwerps. Hence my interest for this man. Any information regarding his fate or photographs of 1st Lt. Maurice B. Thibert or his P-38 would be much appreciated..
Regards,
Dirk
