Re: Missing F-5, late March, 1945
No problem, If you take the map references and use the correct N and E, if I am right the Wippital/Schonberg/Stubaital falls in that area. So must be somewhere in that area.
Unless post WW2 some recovery Unit removed the wreckage.
I have no idea which unit it could be, French, British or US. Even perhaps an Austrian/ex Luftwaffe Unit ???

Also I would like to confirm that the reference AV.2291/45 was in relation to MACR 13070, crash date 19.03.1945 at 8472 Straß in Steiermark (Austria)
death date 26.03.1945 at 8472 Straß in Steiermark (Austria)
P-38 Lightning
82 Fighter Group
95 Fighter Squadron
Brookman Wilburn R. 1st Lt O-711936.
It had nothing to do with Pansch MACR 13370, which was my original assumption.
