    Hello Dan,

    Searching the internet I came upon your message concerning 1st Lt Robert L "Moose" Newman. Can you tell me for sure that mr Newman crashed in Belgium on the 5th of november 1943? I have another record of this aircraft 42-7907 which was dug out soon after the war on the isle of Goeree-Overflakkee. Herebye the pilot bailed out and was taken POW. Working on a internet site which covers the WW2 aera on this isle I'm very curious about this.

    greetings Kees

    Hi Kees ,

    1st Lt Robert Newman 0-665597 was buried on november 5th 1943 in grave nr 344 at the allied cemetery on the airfield of Sint-Truiden ( St-Trond in french ) Belgium.This is confirmed on a official german list. Strange enough MACR 1447 says the P-47 was lost in the neightbourhood of Düsseldorf.

    Greetings
