    Hi Michel,
     
    2nd Lt Henry Nielsen was member from 524th FS "Hounds of Heaven". In my files, he was downed near Valence south of France, but no date. Maybe august 44.

    Look like this is the first "shot down" for Lt. Nielsen: he was shot down again on november 16, 1944 near Pegognaga (Italy), ending the war as a POW...

    Does anyone have a pic of his plane nose art?? a witness from Pegognaga say it was an "indian girl wit a bow", in fact the nickname of the plane (or at least his SECOND plane) was "Jane Scores"
