Re: Unknown aircraft Dubrovnik 28.11.1943.

There apparently is an error in the MACR. The MACR as typed shows 41-10453 but there is correction comment in the version in fold3.com giving the number as 42-10453. When you put your cursor over the serial number in the MACR, the correction window pops up.

The eye-witness statement by Lt Novy (MACR page 7) refers to Turner's plane as #32, which appears to be the number of the plane in the picture.

The MACR in the National Archives does not show the "correction".

For those with fold3, here is the MACR page that "pops up" the correction.

Sorry for the confusion.
