Re: B-26 41-34955 crash in Belgium
Alain !
The crew-list of B-26C-15 , AAF-s/n 41-34955, doesn't have a crew-member Hayden Raymond M on boarrd. This is filed by MACR 11488.
The mission of this aircraft was an attack alongside with 323rd BG (M) on December 26th, 1944 to Houffalize strongpoint at about 11:04 A hrs. During the attack, 41-34955 was shot up by German FLAK and crashes in the area of Ronchampay,Belgium.
The crash-location had been confirmed by the findings of an officer of 439th Troop Carrier Group on January 28th, 1945, who was informed from a grave registration unit, that the body of Lt. Fox, pilot of MARAUDER 41-34955 was found in the wreck and was tentatively identified by laundry marks.
Can you check, which date your person flew his mission, since obviously no evidences are trailing Mr. Hayden to the events, concerning B-26, AAF-s/n 41-34944.
Best regards,
Horst Weber
