[Heuser]

Gentlemen,
is there anything known about the crash place and the pilot of P-47 42-26061 of 36.FG, lost on 07.10.1944?

Thanks in advance

A.,

According the MACR lists 36th FG lost two P-47s on 7 Oct 1944: 42-26061 and 42-26469.
Both serials don't appear on footnote.com yet, but what's interesting is that the aad.archives.gov website gives two POWs of 36th FG that day as well (just toy a bit with the search parameters):

2nd Lt William M. Young III and 2nd Lt Herbert M. Carr Jr.


Couldn't find more...
