Re: Bf109 shoot down that causes B-24 loss
The 44th BG lost 8 B-24s on March18,1944, but six (6) of them were interned in Switzerland. Altogether, 16 B-17s/B-24s were down in Switzerland on this day, a record for the entire war.
BTW. what was the name of the 44th crew member?
Regarding the downing of the Bf-109 and the B-24, there was a case of a parachuting crew member who landed on the wing of a another bomber over Ploesti and caused the bomber to crash.
