Re: Looking for a Dakota mission Châteauroux (France) September 1944

This site lists missions during the war.

http://www.plan-sussex-1944.net/angl...nto_france.pdf

If you skip down to September 1944 (starting on pdf page 162 of 170) you can find some missions involving Dakotas and the area around Châteauroux.

Or, if you search for Châteauroux you should get 31 "hits" and starting from #31 and working backwards it appears that hits 31, 30, 29 involved C-47/Dakota planes.

Hit 29 was on 5 September

Hit 30 was on 8 September and hit 31 was on 13 September. Perhaps one of those is the mission you are seeking.
