L-5 42-99379 listed as MIA - Dec 1944 - 69 Tact Recce Gp
The Cumulative Loss Listing of Aircraft (in Europe) for December 1944 (A5686) contains a (for me) little mystery.
L-5 42-99379 is listed under the heading 'MIA' with date 5 Dec 1944.
Unit is given as '69 Tact Recon Gp'. This Group also had L-5s indeed, but wasn't in Europe (France) until late Feb 1945...
If list is correct, then L-5 part of an advance detachment?
No info on Joe Baugher's site (crouze.com), nor matching MACR as far as I could find.
Members with access to 69 TRG war diaries welcome to see if an incident is mentioned early Dec 1944.
Thanks.
