Hi ,

B-24 42-52332 44BG/506BS was lost on 3/15/1944 ( MACR 3220 ) . Could it be possible that this a/c was lost over Belgium.

Greetings

There is a narrative story of the loss at the bomb groups website:

The site above places it I think at:

Den Hulst (Nieuwleusen) at 12:30

You could get the MACR at footnote.com possibly.

THanks Dennis

Alain !

The LGK-reports for this day give also a "LIBERATOR , s/n 252332 at De Hulst, Community of Nieuw-Leusen". References are AV 721/44 and KU 1194. Fortunately, I'm in the possesion of the original German Ku-report about this incident. As the crash location, also Balgbrug is mentioned in those documents ????.

All the best !

Horst & Alain,

Balgbrug should read Balkbrug, which is just a little east of Nieuwleusen.
Den Hulst on the other hand is a bit to the west...
All of these in the Dutch province of Overijssel.

Horst,

this crash is in my back yard. Back in the early eighties I did extensive research in this crash and corresponded with a couple of the crew and extensively with Will Lundy. I have the MACR, but would like to get copies of the original KU 1194 report.

Could you send me copies? Please drop me a PM.

Cheers,

John
