Trying some reverse logic here. Any claims for shooting down of a P-51 April 2nd 1945?
This is of interest to me due to the following:
Mission #281 April 2, 1945 Capt. Parker and #57 "Alba Marie Pippen" were flying high cover for 18 members of the 318th Fighter Squardron. His group was making fighter sweeps and strafing targets of opportunities from Celjs to Maribor to Graz to Bruck. He saw an aircraft flying under his formation in the clouds. He dove into the overcast skies to investigate and was last seen near Klagenfurth, Austria. He was never found. MACR #13641 Just on the off-chance that a victory was claimed in that area by the Luftwaffe (or other Axis forces) for the shooting down of a P-51, I make the approach on the Luftwaffe forums for information. As the report mentions, he was never found, so maybe tracking down an area where he could have been lost, may start to reveal other facts? Cheers, MP |
