Re: B26 Marauder in French Service
Good Evening Keith,
At Christmas Eve JG 53 shot down three B-26 of the 17th Bomb Group - 1st Tactical Air Force (Prov.) during attack on Singen Marshalling Yard. 1st Tactical Air Force (Prov.) Bomber Command < > Forces Aériennes Françaises Libres lost at the same day one B-26 during attack on Tuttlingen Marshalling Yard. This one was GBM 2/52 Martin B-26 C-45 Marauder # 42-107801 which made a crashlanding near Geney, north of L`Isle-sur-le-Doubs (Région Franche-Comté) - France. If you want to know more about the French Marauders i recommend the excellent book: Les Marauders Français, Patrick Ehrhardt · Polygone 2 Janvier 2001
Cheers
Fred
