P-47 losses on 3 Dec 1944
Who were the pilots in P-47s Serial-No. 42-28818 of 36th FG and 44-20219 of 358th FG.
I am also interested in the MACR No. and where did these P-47s come down. Many thanks to Flupke for answering my latest quests. Jörg |

Re: P-47 losses on 3 Dec 1944
Joerg,
Hope this finds you well. (After 12 years) I see your interest in Lt. David Harris. He flew with my great uncle Lt. Jack Buchanan in the 367th and both were killed within two weeks of each other. I recently made contact with Harris' niece. I have Harris's IDPF and some other information. Let me know if I can be of any help to you. Thanks |
