Re: L-5 42-99379 listed as MIA - Dec 1944 - 69 Tact Recce Gp

Hi Lee. The 69TRG was formerly the "Provisional Recon. Group" until March 45 so the L-5 could be from one of their squadrons ( 34PRS, 111 TRS, 162TRS); I believe most L-5s were in the 111th.
The Prov. RG was formed Oct. 1944 to support the US Seventh Army moving north. In March there was some shuffling of the Recon. squadrons within Groups. L-5 Liason Sqns. were included in 6th. Army Group (Seventh Army).
