December 28, 1943. 376th BG, 514th BS. B-24D 42-41256. Attacking the M/Y at Vicenzia, Italy. Shot down by Bf 109, I believe. Crew of ten, five POW, five declared dead (as of the end of the war).
Enjoy! Frank.

Re: Aircraft code 241 256 === ID
John, second link is about a diorama about the aircraft discussed in this thread, with the story of its last mission. Nothing political.
As for providing links for non-English websites, I have done it too before for answering question on French or Russian units, for example. I understood the rule has always posting in English here, but to provide links in other languages was OK for me. |
