Re: Mustangs at Brussels-Melsbroek
Alex,
P-51 44-14375 (1st FG) was at nearby Evere airfield.
B-17 44-8258 (401 BG) was destroyed at Melsbroek as well. Had made a forced landing there on 11 Dec 44.
The USAAF P-51s you mention were damaged at Steeple Morden on 1 Jan 45, so not directly involved in Bodenplatte.
Several got lost in action on later dates.
Regards,
Leendert
