B-24 Losses
There is a photo of the B-24 "Little Warrior" 493 BG being hit by flak on 29 June 1944 over Germany about to go down. Does anyone know which unit shot it down and did any of the crew survive?
There is a photo of a B-24 on fire about to go down do to fighter attack. I believe the S/N is 42-95379? "P" "35"? 23 August 1944 451BG over Austria. Does anyone know who shot the plane down and did any of the crew survive? Thanks in advance.
