Re: 451st BG B-24 details of loss

Hi

All,

More 451st BG queries.

On 5th April 1944 451st had a B-24 crash on take-off, which killed at least 9 of the crew. There is a photo of the wreck on the web. However, the aircraft serial and the crew names are not to be found, at least by me. Also, the Group mission report, the source of the fact there was a crash, notes a returning B-24 crash landed. I do not know who these guys or the serial was either. I dont not believe it was Wolf Wagon flown by John O'Connor which landed, note not crash landed, with 385 holes in it and was written off as not worth repairing. Thoughts welcomed,

Regards

Russell
