Re: Lost B-26 on 22 February 1945
On Joe Baugher's website, the second one is listed as shot down by AAA near "Butback". I guess this should read "Butzbach", south of Giessen.
Hope this helps Robert

Re: Lost B-26 on 22 February 1945
Thank you Flugplatz Giessen!
I just needed to rule out some a/c for that date. I am interested in a (supposed) B-26 crash near Hamm (Ruhrgebiet area). But never did find any info on a B-26 crash near Hamm... Schoene Gruessse, FrankieS
