USAAF incidents UK 1942
Hi guys
Can anyone 'put flesh on bones' regarding the following incidents that involved USAAF pilots/aircraft operating in the UK in 1942. I believe most, if not all, involved collisions with barrage balloons, although annotated as 'hit object in flight':
11/8/42: B-17 41-9098 crashed Craig Berwyn, Wales
1/9/42: P-38F 41-7669 crashed near Burnley
27/9/42: Spitfire BM582 (Lt George T. Keough USAAF) Goxhill
3/10/42: B-17F 41-2445 N. Ireland
29/10/42: B-24D 41-23712 crashed Hurlestone Point, Porlock Bay
13/11/42: P-38G 42-2067 (possibly incorrect) crashed Eglington
3/12/42: Oxford R6179 (Lt Joseph Lowe USAAF) crashed Leggerhead
16/12/42: P-38G 42-12753 (possibly incorrect) crashed Langford Lodge
28/12/42: P-39 42-4544 crashed Much Wenlock
Should anyone be able to help, identities/fates of crewmembers etc will also be appreciated.
Cheers
Brian
