Re: USAAF 511th Fighter Squadron P-47's crashsites Belgium

Because it was not a combat accident, it was not recorded, I suppose either. Thank you Mr. Sheppard for this additional info.

When you look in the accident list, at the end of:
http://usafunithistory.com/PDF/0500/...GHTER%20SQ.pdf
for date 45-03-14, the two aircraft of Palmer and Rickert are listed. But location FRA (France) is not correct. The gridcode: K 5474 can be transferred into GPS-coordinates with the https://www.echodelta.net/mbs/eng-translator.php

First step: 1/ select the "Nord de Guerre grid"

Second step: 2/ fill in "vK5474"

Third step: push Convert!

The location found is near the crash location.
