Hello Machel,
Are you just seeking US a/c ? How about RAFSAAF B24 Liberator losses that date ? 19th March 1944 178 Sqdn RAF EV812 went down into the sea. But BZ948, crew bailed. Both Pilot and Co-Pilot were SAAF men. 5 became POW. 2 evaded And F/Sgt. Desmond Maurice TURNER was shot dead. SAAF a/c KH244 "Q" was lost on 19th March 1945. Alex |

454th B.GROUP MACR 3506:serial=42-52125 "Homesick Angel"...crash in Yougoslavia. No info on it. Do you have this MACR? MACR 3294:serial=42-52229 "War Weary Wanda"...crash in Yougoslavia. MACR is not on Fold3. Two airmen bailed over Yugoslavia and evaded. Airmen: Albert Hill Howard Severson Frank Turner Maurice Frantz Leroy Miller Charles Ponder Robert Winner and maybe Clarence Deal, Donald Furrer, Thomas Parsons - were from 454bg 736bs (apart from last 3) and were killed on that day. They could be from this plane, but I cannot check it. Do you have this MACR? Region of crash is listed as Slovenia, for same men place Senovo is listed. MACR 3299:serial=42-52272"Rebel Revenge"...crash in Vanetina?Slovenia?. I have info as Dravograd, Slovenia. Entire crew KIA/DED. MACR 3466:serial=41-28659 "Virginie Annie". Brežice, Slovenia One airmen evaded, other is DED, remaining POW. MACR 3293:serial=42-52225 "...shot down or accident? It could be near Novo Mesto, Slovenia. I have some Escape statements, but I need MACR to confirm it. Do you this MACR? |

Re: Crash place:19/03/44
Regarding 42-52225. The pilot was reported as Aubrey L Edwards. Edwards is listed in the POW lists for Stalag Luft I. Here is a link to when he was first reported missing.
https://www.newspapers.com/clip/22393062/ A couple of other newspaper articles report he played saxophone in the POW band at Stalag Luft I. The 454th BG seems to list two MACRs associated with this aircraft, 3293 and 3284. I can't find 3293 on fold3. 3284 is for a different plane, but on one page it mentions 42-52225 and Aubrey L Edwards included in a list of losses. Lowell West is listed as the co-pilot of 42-52225 ("Hot Rock"/"Moo Juice?") and there is a story on page 8 about his evasion here: http://airforceescape.org/wp-content...ember-2003.pdf Last edited by RSwank; 1st August 2018 at 14:28. |
