Re: eBay: Allied intrest

The P-38 in #1995 appears to be a P-38J , s/n 42-104105, 37th FS, 14th FG that crash landed on Hungarian soil on August22, 1944. There is another photo of the other side of this A/C; see : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/F...epan_11085.jpg

Unfortunately, there is no indication of this airplane in Joe Baugher's list nor in the usual MACR list. Based on the date of August 22,1944, the A/C pilot appears to be Lt. Mitchell S. Cwiek, 37th FS POW on this date., since this is the only POW listed on this date in the book "14th Fighter Group in WWII"
