Re: P47 crashed at Bois des dimes /France

Memorial for Jennings:
https://www.uswarmemorials.org/html/...=440&MemID=697

It can be seen on Google Street View here:

Regarding the location of Jennings Crash:
The actual location of the Jennings crash and his Memorial Marker is:
44.423927 N, 4.994750 E

The location of Jennings crash according to his MACR 8381 (link here):

https://catalog.archives.gov/id/91053018

The included map shows the location to be at bJ1840 (Lambert Zone 3 map):
This is East of Beaurepaire near Beaufort, at:
45.32677 N, 5.11804 E
The straight line distance between the MACR (reported) crash location and the actual crash site is around 70 miles so it appears the MACR is not "quite" correct.
