Re: 429FS/474FG P-38 crash, 17 Sep 44
Mike,
I have thought of requesting an IDPF from the Army folks at Alexandria, but that does take some time. I wanted to check online first to see if anyone out there knew anything prior to requesting it. Sometimes I get lucky!
Leendert,
44-23647 was a 428th FS P-38J-25-LO. It was flown by 1Lt. George G. Guyon on 16 Sep 44 and was accidently brought down that day by 90mm friendly AAA near Chaufontaine, Belgium (6 miles SE of Liege). Lt. Guyon bailed out OK.
I also have two of my very good French friends and WWII researchers who live near Paris looking for the crash site as well.
Cheers, Gary
