Question as to who ws flying a B-24 on 22 Sept 1944
Hello all
On the 22nd September 1944, the 451st BG flew into Lyon aerodrome, carrying supplies for the forces in France. where upon landing one of their Liberators came into collision with a 79th FG P-47 that was taking-off. The 451st Web site has a photo of the Lib minus its outer wing, but I can find no reference at all to who was flying it. Detaiis I have so far are: 727th BS/451st BG B-24J-10-FO, 42-51750 ‘8’ Gang Bang on trucking mission, while landing at Lyon, struck by a P-47D 42-27006 of 85th FS/79th FG 2/Lt Jack L Slatton inj, that was taking-off, wing outboard of No 1 engine ripped off, repaired (it was later lost in April 45.) Does any one know who the pilot was? Thanks Russell
