Re: Missing Air Crew Report
Hello Marcel,
Try to get hold of a copy of "Double Nickel-Double Trouble", it has a good report of this loss and picture.
Seems he lost one engine to mechanical failure, this was followed by compass loss and final second engine power loss, it was thought that if he had bailed out, the winds direction would take him inland rather than out to sea.
He rests in Ardennes American Military Cemetery and Memorial, Neupre, Belgium.
The 55th lost four a/c this date, three Kia, one Pow.
