Re: Recovery of Lt. John D. Mumford-KIA June 6,1944
Kaki , thanks for posting this , in fact I was speaking the other day with Neil about Lt Mumford without knowing about the discovery . He was shot down NE of Taraclia by fighters from either SG-2 , SG -9,SG-10, JG 52 or NAGr 2 which were based at Leipzig (Moldova ) closer to that perimeter which intercepted the 325th FG fighters from Poltawa enroute to Romania . I highly doubt Cantacuzino had anything to do with it . If you would read the MACR various pilots mentioned FW-190's fighters which in fact points out to the Leipzig based Luftwaffe FW-190 fighters. Cantacuzino was not flying the IAR-80's which were often confused by Allied pilots as FW-190 or Italian fighters .
