14 February 1944 - St. Andre de L'Eure Aerodrome

Hi guys,

On February 14th, 1944 No. 401 Squadron, RCAF carried out a Ranger operation and they ended up shooting down a Me.210/410 on or very close to St. Andre de L'Eure aerodrome at approximately 1615 hours. Two crew members were seen to jump from the aircraft but their chutes did not open in time.

Any idea who they were?

Thanks in advance.

Stephen

Thanks Chris.

Interesting. The whole group witnessed the shoot down so I wonder what it was then?
