Re: Charles B. McLean 79th FG
I gathered that (part of) 79th FG moved from Lyon-Bron (Y-6) to Le Vallon on 22 Sept 1944. Rolland referred to this as well.
There was a ground accident with a P-47 (42-27006, Capt Slatton) that day at Y-6.
Interestingly airforcehistoryindex not only gives Slatton, but also (a) Harold T. Thompson and "nine unknown crewmen" as related to this accident.
P-47 hit men and/or other aircraft?
No Charles B. McLean on said website with air accident on/around 22 Sep 1944.
Indeed not a single mentioning of Lt McLean in book about 79th FG. He was assigned to the FG but not yet arrived?

Leendert
