Re: 474.FG losses on 02.03.1945
Good evening, Heuser !
2nd Lt. Robert H. Strong piloted P-38 USAAF-s/n 42-104333
(MACR # 12840). He was shot up by German Flak on 2nd March 1945 at about 10:05 hrs. According whitnesses of his flight, the aircraft pulled up to 1.000 feet and went in afterwards. Lt. Strong did not bail out. This happened at appx. F-998228.
2nd Lt. George W. Alge flew P-38 USAAF-s/n 44-23589 (MACR # 12839)
He was probably caught in a bomb-blast of proceeding aircraft, targeting locomotives. MACR gives time 9:30 hrs, but statement of flight leader is a bit tricky. The same time and location of Lt. Strong is also strongly possible.
Hope, this helps !
