Re: 459th BG June 24,44 loss

This link describes the rescue of a 459th crew for plane "322" , "Sarah Dee" (or "Sarah Doe") on that date.

I believe the plane was 41-29322. It was the 15th mission for the plane and the first for the crew. It ditched in the Adriatic.

The loss is discussed starting on pdf page 25, then skips to pdf pages 27, 28 and 29. Link is slow to load, but lists entire crew and describes the mission and the rescue.

8 crewmen rescued and 2 men drowned.
