Re: Unknown crash site

Agree,
Geoffrey 's excerpt from the Squadron history is almost exactly what can be found in page 4 of the macr.

Page 2 of the 4 page MACR does have the 26 March 1945 in the Date: space.

And it follows that as described, the Map co-ordinates are given the wrong global position re East/North which is an understandable error.

The correct being 47°10' N by 11°25'E.
So just where would that be ?
Target given as just Munich.
Final map ref puts the aircraft almost directly south over the Wipptal/Schonberg-Stubaital area of Austria.

Also I am interested to discover what the number 2467 represents at the top of page 2, and the number 1879 at the bottom of pages 2,3 and 4 ?

For general interest two P-51D' from the 319 Sqdn,325 Fighter Group were also lost in the same area (Langenloia) on the 26 th. They were Pilot: Robert R, CAUDILL ,POW.
P-51D -15 44-15679, "75".
AND
Vernon B, KRHL, KIA.
P51D-15 44-15449, " Baby Doll".
