C-47 loss 27. Dez. 1944 Italy

I'm looking for more information about an C-47 or more possible, an Dakota, lost that day 20km North of La Spezia, 12 km North of Montebello.
The plane play a part with 2nd SAS Regiment that day, but I'm unable to located more details. The German Record is the No. ME 168A.

Hans,

There's a story about the 2nd SAS operation on this site, but no news here about a crash: http://freespace.virgin.net/j.dingwall/veteran4.htm

Will look further.

Grüss,

Leendert

Hans !

There is no entry to a loss of a C-47 this day in Italy by MACR-reports. But page 429 "Air War Europa", reports, that 'Twelfth Air Force drop supplies to Italian partisans in Northern Italy"

Maybe your 'ME 168 A" man came down on the wrong side. Well, but no source does point to crash of a C-47 that day in Italy.

All the best !
