Re: 2/Lt Reed, 362.FG, 377.FS, lost 03/23/45

Stephane,
thank you for your reply. I found a Robert Reed of 377.FS mentioned here:
http://www.absa39-45.asso.fr/362FG/377_fs.html

But I am not sure if this is Lt. Reed / "Paul Read" which was shot down on 23 march.

The P-47 of 367.FG, 397.FS was 44-33570, MACR 14044

It seems like something was mixed up...

The original info a had from a friend of mine was an unconfirmed claim of ship-based Flak on Rhine river about an P-47 in the Kaub-Oberwesel area with an pilot trying to evade, but taken as POW (dated with march 23rd) .The crashplace of the a/c could not be located in 1945. But I have several eyewitness reports about a discovered wreck of an "US-Jabo" in the 1950's, located some miles SSE of Kaub.
