S/d on 19.3.1944 - US and German airplane HELP WANTED!

[obivankinobi]

Hello!

Here is a SCAN of two US pilots that were captured by the Germans on 19.3.1944. In the middle, there is a German pilot. They were s/d on 19.3.1944 (including German). Author of the picture was JOZEF UMEK (born in 1915). Picture was taken in the small village of DOBLEZICE, here in Slovenia, Europe in ww2 (at that time Yugoslavia). Can anyone help me who the both US pilots might be. Also 3 or 4 dead bodies were seen in the cemetery in the village of PILSTANJ (German name of this village was: PEILENSTEIN) by the children, which were on the way to the school. US pilots were burried there. After the end of the ww2 they were exhumated by the US military authorities.

I am also looking which US airplane could it be (maybe MACR).

About the German pilot as far as I could find out is that, at that day was s/d Uffz Gollasch, Paul, Bf 109G-6, Yellow 10, 3./JG77, 162212.

Can someone confirm me that that is he? Does anyone recognize any US pilot?


Thanks in advance!
