Need to find aviator info (name), who was at Stalag Luft III

[harrison987]

Hey guys,

I recently found some old estate items from a POW who was at Stalag Luft III.

On his pilot shirt, he wrote on a piece of paper:

"Original short worn by me when shot down 10-18-44, and worn until liberated 4-29-45. Has bent 2nd Lt Bar (which undoubtedly stopped an undisclosed metal object from entering my neck)"

There is a rough signature, looks like 4 letters...so it could be first or last name.

so at this time:

Shot down 10-18-44
2nd. Lt.
POW at Atalag Luft III

Does anyone have a list or know of any birds that were shot down on this date?

TIA

Mike
