Hello all,
Maybe a shot in the dark, but here we go...
I'm currently busy with "investigating" a crash during the second
World War over my home town Heerlen, in the south of the Netherlands.
So far I have the following information:
On 19-November-1944 two P-47D's crashed, involving pilots 1st Fl A.J. Garner
and 1st Fl L. Burg, flying for the 373 FG / 412 FS. All this information is taken
from a recently released list by the Dutch Defense.
I'm interested in the following:
1) Did both crashes happened separately, or are both involved in the same incident.
2) Did both pilots bail out, and became POW?, as I can't find them in all possible KIA en MIA lists.
3) What was the cause of the crash, flak?, enemy fighters?, mechanical issues?, fuel starvation?
4) And maybe the million dollar question, what was the location of the crash site?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Kind Regards, Ramon
