Re: 15.USAAF Escort losses, 18. July 1944
Hello Heuser
This is a problem I have been working on for the future Strategic Volume of Med Air War series. What I have to date is 4th FS52nd FG P-51 dove on enemy aircraft at 47 56N 11 21 E near Allmanshausen on the Starnberger See, on pulling out at 5000ft was seen to rip the starboard wing off managed to bale out; 1/Lt Raymond H Irvine, Jr POW Note Allmanshausen is a on the other side of the lake North east from Tutzing. What I have yet to find out is what serial number of the P-51 Irvine was in, and your listing of it being 44-13381 is a good lead if it can be confirmed, nor have I found a tme for the loss, but I suspect it is 1055 to 1100. Nor can I tie ripping the wings off with whatever Krejci may have done, but thats the fun of doing the research. Cheers Russell |
