Boston IIIA BZ366 from 342 Sqdn Free French
Hello to you!
I am checking the crash of above mentioned bomber on July 2/3rd 1943 in Belgium.
In some old books about this crash, the author mentions that 3 Boston's originally left their base in UK to destroy a power station at Langerbrugge(B).One plane was a reserve-plane that returned already to his base when it just reached the seaside in UK, due to technical problems and the second bomber continued with the BZIIIA BZ366. However somewhere over the North Sea the second decided to return home due to bad weather conditions. Is there somebody who can confirm this story? I only found the BZ366 mentioned on http:/home.att.net/-jbaugher/1942_2.html as "missing". If this story is correct, which were the 2 other bombers and their crew???
Thnks for your kindly help !
Fred
