Re: US cargo aircraft shot down January 1944
Hi guys
Further to my enquiries (excuse my ignorance) but could these two C-54s have been Air Transport Command aircraft? If so, did they come under the command of USAF? If not, could this be why no MACR references can be found? I believe the pilot of 41-37274 was Charles Gerber. Was he USAF?
Could the 23 March 1945 - the friendly fire shooting down of 42-72346 - have occurred in the Pacific? Possibly even by HMS 'Striker's' aircraft?
Hopefully someone will have the answers!
Cheers
Brian
