Re: B-24H, 42-52355 of 460th BG, lost on 18.05.1944

Hi Denes,


From "Bf 109 The Yugoslav Story Vol.I" on page 138:
"The mission against the returning bombers was more fruitful. Oblt. Otto Schultz led 6./JG 51 at 12.40 and quickly caught up with a group of some 20 Liberators, one of which he damaged, before being wounded by return fire; he landed back at Medoševac at 13.00. At 12.55 nine planes of 5./JG 51 came upon a straggling B-24H-15-FO 42-52355 of the 763rd BS/460th BG near Leskovac and Lt. Siegfried Pflitsch shot it down, the bomber falling near Oruglica village (2/Lt Charles Stevenson; two killed, eight evaders with JVuO). One of the casualties, S/Sgt John Dunn, was both strafed by the Gustavs and fired upon from the ground by Bulgarian troops and mortally wounded whilst hanging on his chute."


Cheers,
Boris
