Mid-air collision of 2 B-24’s over Belgium on 16/04/1945
Hi,
The Operational Diary April 1945 of 466 BG mentions for 16 April 1945 : Thirty-seven A/C left the base to attack a railway target at Traunstein, Germany. Due to weather conditions bombing was done at Landshut, Germany, priority #3 target, by H2X, with visual assist. Thirty-five A/C were effective and dropped 328x500# GPS and 22x500# RDX with fair results. Dut to a mid-air collision over Belgium, the ships piloted by Lt. Felber and Lt.Evans did not bomb. Lt. Felber’s ship returned to base with #3 propeller off, while the other ship crashed over Belgium. All personnel on this ship parachuted to safety. Major Pemillett was command pilot. Three A/C sustained battle damage and there were no casualties. 42-50585 was the aircraft which crashed and 44-10591 was the aircraft which returned to base. Is the crashlocation of 42-50585 known ? Many thanks and best regards Luc
