Re: 5 April 1945 B-17 near Rochefort (Belgium)
Leendert,
Thanks for the reply.
The date of 5 April 1945 is mentioned in two different documents of 353 FG. It is of course possible that one document was used as source for the second one.
On the mission of 5/04/1945 353 FG made L/F in north of Oostende en L/F out at Schouwen, so it is doubtful that an aircraft would be spotted as crashed at Rochefort (France).
A red tail was used by aircraft of 1st Combat Wing. It happens that squadrons used aircraft from another squadron. It is a pity that the code on the tail was not noted/reported, so that we could be certain of the bomber group in question.
Best regards, m vr gr
Luc
