16/04/1945 352 FG P-51D Crash landed on the Continent
Hi,
The Mission Summary Report no.454 of 352 FG dated 16 April 1945 mentions that 1 aircraft was Cat “E” flak damaged. It also mentions that this aircraft crash landed on the continent. Has this aircraft been identified ? Who was the pilot and where did it crash landed ? Many thanks and best regards Luc |

Most likely 44-14224 salvaged by 5SAD due to battle damage - CAT E.
Pilot was Lt. Ronald O Swinson, 486FS. |

Hi Peter,
Many thanks for your reply. 5 SAD was based at Merville. So the plane must have crashed in Northern France or Belgium. Best regards Luc Last edited by Luc Vervoort; 31st May 2023 at 07:20. Reason: added new information |
