Re: USAAF 511th Fighter Squadron P-47's crashsites Belgium
I know it is confusing, when there is wrong information circulating. The collision did take place in Belgium, after the Group moved to Y-32 coming from France (The frontline was also moving towards Germany, and after France it was Belgium).
I have information (official accident report) obtained from an internet source (which for the moment still has the wrong information on it's website) and it clearly states Y-32 which was situated in Belgium. And...., in the "Opsflash" of 14-03-1945 on microfilm reel BO498 of the 511FS, 405FG, while at Y-32 (achieved from AFHRA), it is mentioned that "2 aircraft of alert flight had mid air collision at aproximately 16hrs. Details unknown. Lt. Rickert bailed safely."
