Re: P47 crashed at Bois des dimes /France

Most (French) websites agree that pilot was killed in the crash, identity however unknown.
Date range understood to be late August/early Sept 1944.
Since no MACR appears to exist, date on or just later than liberation of Vienne (on 3 Sept 44?).
Crash while on operational mission, otherwise accident report.

P-47 unit must be one of 12th AF (XXII TAC).

This info known to you for sure, but for benefit of forum readers.

Regards,
Leendert
