Re: Pilot, 2nd Lieutenant Robert L Wells USA

Hello,

"From my past searches, the CWGC will only list civilians killed by crashes of enemy aircraft. If they were killed by Allied aircraft, they were apparently not considered as war victims. But it is only from some cases, I don't know if this is a rule applying to all cases."

Generally speaking, where known, civilians were named, eg.

10 February 1944.
38thFS/55thFG.
P-38J 42-67667

While on a ferry flight to Duxford, from 84th FS/78thFG, struck British field vehicle killing the driver, Harry Benjamin BRADLEY (civilian).

2ndLt Robert N GORE USAAF - Survived.

Bradley - http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/3100436/

P-38J 42-67667 - http://www.americanairmuseum.com/aircraft/19904

Another example:

15 September 1944
552ndFTS/495thFTG
P-47C 41-6178

Crashed near Leicester, pilot and civilian were killed.

Lt Herbert C BELFORD USAAF +

Civilian - Elizabeth Ellen JACKSON + (74) - http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/3121885/

P-47C 41-6178 - http://www.americanairmuseum.com/aircraft/20715

Col.
