Re: MACR 10226- 2nd Lt Davis P-38

@ Jörg & olliball

Good evening !

This 3rd November 1944 was a tricky day in losses of 367th and 370th FG P-38's.
Comparing the facts of the losses and the losing times in connection with the German LGK-reports, the following time-table is on my opinion the most realistic one:

- at 13:25 hrs, P-38, AAF-s/n 42-67463, 370th FG, 402nd FS was hit by Flak and came down somewhere west of Cologne, Germany. The pilot, 1st Lt. Earle W. Bauer became POW. This event is NOT reported in an available German LGK-report

- at appx. the same time, P-38, AAF-s/n 44-23175, 370th FG, 402nd FS was also hit by Flak and came down near Myhl, about 10 km WNW of Erkelenz, Germany. The pilot, Lt. Henry E. Sanders, went down behind the lines and survived to become POW. This event is well documented in LGK-report # J 2380.

- at about 14:45 hrs, a P-38 came down at Schweinheim near Loch. according to the same LGK-report # J 2380.

What could be done else now ????. Does anyone has access to the original LGK-report # J 2380 ?.

All the best !
