I am looking for the name of the pilot who’s flying AC #44-19925 362nd FG loss the 29/4/1945 MACR 14218 I have think to Capt Hayes Paul M. O-792399 but was RTD and was probably on the A/C # 44-32772 , unfortunately I don’t have this MACR

Many thanks in advance

Hi,


Paul Hayes was the pilot of 377FS 362 FG P47 44-32772 on the 29/4/45 SE of Nurnberg.This was an accident so no MACR.

Virgil P Kirkham was killed on the 30th , but was he the pilot of P47 44-89700
that was lost MACR 14219 on the 30th ?

Your 44 -19925 was MACR 14218 of the 29th April 45.

Also lost to accidents on the 29th were

44-33668 from the 378FS 362 FG pilot Richard A. Cline
44-33745 from the 377FS 362 FG pilot William R. Peterson
44-20281 from the 377FS 362 FG pilot Robert W. Dunham

Again no macr's on these .

You can get AAR's though.

All for now.

Hello Alex

Thanks for the information but I have already all of them, the only problem is the MACR 14218

I have the microfilms of this unit and I don’t have found anything concerning such loss that day!! Maybe the unit is wrong ??

I think I will ask it at the AFHRA .

Regards

Phil
