Hi,

Lt Morsch plane crashed on a farm in the village of FICHEUX (10 miles south of Arras). He was buried in Bucquoy road british cemetery. He is now buried in the States (I can't find the city). You can find more information on hm in the book of M. André Coilliot "1940-1944 - 4 longues années d'occupation" published in the 1980's. Can provide a copy if you need. send a PM.
If you have informations or photo of Morsh I'm very interested to have a copy.
Sincerely
Laurent

Could these be the same two P-47's claimed by Ofw. Schulze of the 4. / JG 11 ?
