Hi ,

Would someone check out this info once and see if this is correct ?
23/12/1944
Tourinnes-la Grosse ( Belgium )
P-47D-6-RE
Fuel problems – Bailed out
42-74735
36FG/ 23FS - 7U-S
MACR 11503

Alain !

The date and the AAF-s/n can be confirmed. The time of loss is apx. 14:20 hrs this day.

Fuel problems can also confirmed by MACR # 11503

The MACR bail-out area is according in this report somewhere between Siegburg and airstrip Wahn at the the East side of the Rhine-River, Germany, very far away from Belgium.

But in those days with the enormous air-movements by Allies and Germans, some observations might have failed the target. If this pilot has survived, he may has well come down on Belgium soil.

Best wishes !
