Re: 9th Air Force P-47 I.D. Help
Hello ,
I have the following on this event:
Date: 20 January 1945 Location: Daussoulx (near Namur), 5020 Aircraft: P-47D-22-RE Incident: Crash landing due to fuel shortage. Had to give priority to a P-47 returning from a mission low on fuel. He said he could wait until he had enough fuel, but they directed him to Brustem. However, he had to make an emergency landing in a field. Serial Number: 42-26142 Unit: 373rd Fighter Group, 412th Fighter Squadron Code: V5 Base: A-89 Le Culot Pilot: 2nd Lt. Charles E. Brown (SAFE), Service Number 0-829627. Earned his wings on 15 April 1944.
