1st Lt Hodges Glenn L - Luftwaffe and Allied Air Forces Discussion Forum

On 08/19/1944 P-47C-2-RE # 41-6216 from 56FG/63 FS flown by 1st Lt Hodges Glenn L ( POW ) was lost probably over the Oosterschelde between Belgium and Holland.
Is this correct ? The MACR was nr 297.

Hi Alain57,

1943 not 1944.

Hodges ditched in P-47C 41-6216 in the Haringvliet, near Hellevoetsluis, and was captured.
Details, including a photo of Hodges, are in my book 'Mission 85, a milk run that turned sour'.
Best regards,
Ivo de Jong
