Re: USAAF bomber loss northern Italy 28 Jul 1944
Alex, I think the A-20 went down at 02:00 while doing at night recon of roads in the Milan area. The plane crashed at Bettola (just SW of Milan) killing the crew of 4. They were buried in the Community Cemetery at Bettola.
San Casciano was liberated on 27 or 28 July, so the town was right on the front lines. I don't think any heavy bombers would have been operating in the area. More likely fighter bombers or light/medium bombers. Errol, how sure are you of the date? Do you have any other information?
