Hello Bas.
What is your source for "hit by flak during a strafing mission on Deelen airfield on the 7th of october 1944" ?
8th USAAF reported no loss for 364 FG that day.
8th USAAF reported the loss of 2 364 FG P-51's on 23-09-1944
I know that 364 FG was in the Arnhem area 23-09-1944.
Date of death is indeed oct 7, 1944.
Who is in possession of the mission report for 23/09/44?
