Re: Lt Thomas j. Taylor 358 FS
There is no J report for Taylor, the Macr states that he was last 'seen' penetrating the cloud cover/haze near Giesen at 1330.
I went back to my original ABD notes re: "died from injuries sustained in crash landing at Leige', and note that my original source was a since deceased 358 pilot Blair (who was the witness pilot in Macr) who 'heard that Taylor had crash landed' but didn't know details or source... so I left it in the book but also noted 'not 100%' verified.
It is not verified in the 358FS History, which closed it's recordings in early June 1945 before the 355th moved to Gablingen
Jaap's reference for the cemetary pretty well confirms, along with no J report, that Taylor made it back to Allied lines. I have so noted this info in my 355FG/SF Honor Roll.
