[drifter206]

Hi all
In book Donji Lapac u NOB-u. (Yugoslav partisan book for town of Donji Lapac for WW2) there is a short story;
"On January 7, 1944, an allied plane appeared over Kunovec. The plane fell near enemy soldiers in Kupirovo. The place where the aircraft crashed... The pioneers grabbed the Englishman, hid him from the German chase and saved him. Mileva Desnica and took him to Osrednjak, from where he continued to Drvar."
Village Kupirovo is in Croatia near the borded with Bosnia (North of Knin).
On 07th of January 1944. according the MTO, operations were bombing aircraft factory at Maribor and torpedo factory at Fiume (Rijeka) but these were much norther than Kupirovo. 3 P 38 were lost and several are missing. I have info of 3 losses;
Maj. Hanes Horace A. (P 38 - Bednja) - RSQ,
1st Lt. Corbett Horace S. (P 38 - Koprivnica Zagorska) - KIA,
2nd Lt. Raymond J. Meredith (P 38 - Slovenia) - RSQ ?.
Does anyone have info about other losses for 7th of January 1944.

It was not uncommon that partisans called pilots English or American not knowing their nationality due to language barrier so maybe the pilot was RAF airmen who knows, so any info would be appreciated.
as always thanks in advance
