Re: Spitfire PL 440

You might find what you are looking for in 341 Squadron (French) Looking at batch numbers allocated to 341 Squadron the following are recorded as losses for 341 Squadron in Fighter Command Losses 1944 for August and September:

PL424 Shot down 14th August - Argetan. Sgt/Chef M Cermalacce
PL395 Shot down Lyons 26th August - Cmdt J Schloeing
PL464 Shot down 16th Sept - Lt. Brunschwig

PL440 Could have been in this batch. 341 Was a Free French Squadron. After covering the Allied landings in France in June 1944, No.341 moved to Normandy in August and arrived in Belgium in September. Also they did not display the usual Squadron recognition letters on the aircraft. The
hope this helps a little.
