Edmund Wright, 316th FS, crash dated Dec. 22nd 1944
Hi All,
Edmund Wright crashed with his P-47D, #42-26566,in South Germany after combat with German fighters. Searching for the reason of the crash. shot down? engine failure? What happende with the pilot? As far as I know he bailed out and reached ground savely but not sure if he became POW or if he made it back to France without capturing him. Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advace Rolf |

Hello Rolf,
according to the MACR 11609 documents the P-47 D-25-RE 42-26566 "Hell's Belles" of 324th FG, 316th FS was shot down on 22 Dec 1944 by a Bf 109 of IV./JG 53. In German documents (Abschußnummer/casualty no. ME 2595) is listed: 1550 hrs crash place 1,5 km from Hubertshofen, 6 km west of Donaueschingen, 100% damage. The pilot 2nd Lt Edmund Wright II bailed out, was wounded and captured 200 m from the crashplace. Regards Leo |
