B-24 Liberator-downed on April 25, 1945-Austria
My Uncle (John W. Greenman) piloted a B-24 Liberator which was hit by flack on a final run to Linz, Austria on April 25, 1945. Everyone was able to escape the bomber, but before leaving the cockpit, John placed the plane on auto pilot and it was headed towards Gmunden, Austria.
According to a note in "Berlin Diaries 1940-1945" by Princess Marie Vassiltchikov, she witnessed a bomber banking over the lake in Gmunden on that day (incorrectly identified as April 26th) and then crash. April 25th was the last bombing run, according to Uncle John. Can anyone suggest how we might go about finding the wreckage of this plane? Thanks for any suggestions
