Re: Gliders lost September 19 1944 over Belgium

Alain,
Perhaps check this website as well what units were transported on what day: https://www.ww2gp.org/serials/hollandSerial.php

If 1/401 GIR on 19 Sep 1944 in your question, then serial A-73 flown by 435th TCG according above list. Losses refer to C-47s, not gliders.

From another source:

Serial A-73 - 435th TCG.
I]"31 aircraft and 30 gliders. 25 gliders released on LZ "W" at 1444. 6 gliders aborted account weather. 3 landed on continent. 2 landed in channel and 1 landed in UK. 1 aircraft failed to return, 2 aircraft damaged by light to medium flak and ground fire. Results successful."
[/i]

Also see, although not the one(s) you're looking for: https://www.hangarflying.eu/erfgoeds...van-waco-cg-4/

In online book Market Garden Then and Now by Karel Magry it says that Waco 43-19872 of Serial A-73 came down near hamlet Asbeek near Asse, "one of three of this serial in Belgium".
However, Joebaugher has this one in 436th TCG on 19 Sep 1944, which would make it Serial A-76...


Groet,
Leendert
