Gotz was KIA 21-03-1944 1.2 km southwest of Bourmegeau (21 km SE of La Roche-sur-Yon,
Now in KUJ-761 is stated by Jager. But the eyewitness Pierce Winningham McKennon make in his report IN MACR 3383 pg 3 no mention of this. Reading it i think it is possible. High dive on tail end Charly.
From MACR:
"On March 21, 1944; Rodeo to Libourne, when F/O Joseph Geets was lost, I was flying as "Greenbelt, Green Three". I had just joined up with two other boys from another section, having lost mine due to enemy action. We were flying on the deck, after having shot up an enemy airdrome, when I noticed the aircraft on my left pull up slightly and appear to stop in mid-air. This airplane was "WD-1", which was being flown by F/O Geets. I heard him say something but could not understand what it was. I then called to the other man that was with me to turn around and go back. It was just as we were turning that I saw F/O Geets's aircraft hit the ground. It did not burn but was very badly torn up. Both wings were severed from the airplane, the fuselage was lying on its back, and the engine was out. It is my belief that no one could have lived after crashing in this manner."


Is there a claim to be tied in for this one?
