Re: P-47 belly landed at Wissen/Germany
Well, the date must be wrong!
1945 yes, but not March and beyond.
The date is based on the recollection of a contemporary witness, who recalls that they were housing bombed out individuals at the time of the crash. The town of Wissen was bombed on 1945/03/11.
It might be possible, that the billeting was not referred to the attack on Wissen. It could have been refugees from fightings in the western part of Germany or bombed out individuals from cities e.g. Cologne...
My hypothesis is, that it was a mid air collision of two B-17s of 379. BG/527. BS on 1945/01/10.
The B-17 I am looking at would be 43-38237 piloted by Major Davis.
MACR 11762.
Any further information would be highly welcome.
