All I have is the name of Lt. (Hershel J.?) Hausman as the pilot.

Groet, Leendert

Alain,

Full story of Hershel Hausman's crash-landing here: https://www.b24.net/2ndADA-Newsletters/1991-Summer.pdf

Go to p. 26: "How to Crash a B-24 the Hard Way".

Referred to British unit is the 75th AA Brigade, then stationed in the Ostend area.

Groet, Leendert
