Re: From a C-47 crash site. Someone can help us?
Salerno,
A friendly person gave the following information: The following quotes come from 436th TCG microfilm (B0544) records of July/August 1944: 1) NARRATIVE: "July 31 was an unlucky day for the Group as one plane of the 79th T.C. Squadron crashed near Foggia killing nine of the eighteen negro passengers. The crew escaped with minor injuries". 2) CHRONOLOGY: "July 31 - A plane from the 79th T.C. Sq. crashed near Foggia at 1000 killing nine of the eighteen colored passengers. The crew and the other passengers escaped with minor injuries." 3) GROUP ENGINEERING REPORT: "August 1 - Aircraft No. 43-15153 crashed in the mountains of southern Italy near Montevergine Monastery. Nine passengers were killed." (I think this records their equipment loss, which is their main concern, not accident reporting) Unfortunately no names are provided. One problem: Foggia is far from Montevergine? But one similarity: both say nine victims... Regards, Leendert |
