Re: US Fighter shot down in Sept. 1944
There were no Ninth Air Force P-47 losses/deaths that I can find between September 8 and 11, 1944 which match a pilot bailing out in Allied territory. Same for Eighth Air Force P-47's. Is everyone positive this plane is a P-47? I also don't see a 2 or 3 anywhere but am getting old. A 367th Fighter Group P-38 crashed with fatal results after taking off on September 8 (south of Le Mans) and on September 11 some Ninth Air Force P-47's were lost over Allied territory by pilots bailing out, but none were killed.
