Hm I remember well - if asking in germany for a plane crash in WW 2 -
in most cases got the answer -

"A american/british bomber , the crew was all tall like trees Canadians"

Its real funny.

Very difficult Klaus, probably a Canadian and 1944/1945 !! Could be British, American, etc. Names of Schwarzach or Oberschwarzach not in my files. I believe we do more accurate info on date and fate of the airman.
Best regards from a sunny Holland,
Henk.

There is a two-volume book on Canadian Spritfire pilots by the late R. Bracken. Check them out.

Also the French Airforce was active in that area so a P-47 could be another option.
