Re: 1st lt. albert w. pines; 324 fg / 315 fs
W0245715 appears to be the "type" of co-ordinate discussed on this site:
http://www.echodelta.net/mbs/eng-welcome.php except the format would be wO245715 for the Nord de Guerre grid, and when you use the translator on the above website you end up at Latitude : 50° 06' 04'' N Longitude : 10° 52' 42'' E which is nowhere near the actual crash site. Some of the co-ordinates for other losses on the link you found do seem the check out using the "echodelta" site on the appropriate grid map, so I am not sure where they went wrong on Pines. |

Re: 1st lt. albert w. pines; 324 fg / 315 fs
How about if it was WQ not WO ? Would that be a closer match ?
Perhaps an early typo error or type ribbon was drying up and it then looked to be an "O" ? |

You know his date of death, but does anyone have his date of birth?

Re: 1st lt. albert w. pines; 324 fg / 315 fs
i did some more research to the coordinates:
wO245715 is wrong ... it must be wW245715 and this was the launch site, wW320654 is correct and this was the crash site!! it's mysterious, there's so much wrong!? regards ghostwriter
