Spitfire Vb AB975 history or photo request?
Hi.
Am trying to research the history of a Spitfire that crashed in Dorset, plus would love to get any photos of former pilots of the plane, or the actual plane itself. It would be interesting to know why it crashed. Spitfire Mk Vb Serial AB975 Built August 1941 Served in squadrons 609, 121, 71, 334 USAAF, and finally 277 rescue. Crashed 25 June 1944 in Oborne, Sherbourne, Dorset. Two known pilots were Giovanni Dieu in 609 squadron, and Duane Beeson in 334 Eagle squadron. Any help would be much appreciated, many thanks. |
