A ditched B-24 16 August 1944 in the Adriatic
Hello All,
The 332nd FG Mission Reports for August 1944 have a record of their escort sortie on 16 August 1944, it reports that they saw a B-24 ditched at 44⁰ 35’N 13⁰ 04’ E 60-65km NE Ravenna at 1245, with crew memebers swimming, no dinghys seen. They circled to 1330 when Spitfires took over. Any one know who the aircraft and crew were? The relevant ASR squadrons do not report picking up any one on that date in the Adriatic, the two B-24 losses I have both went into Switzerland. Regards Russell
