Michel, According to my records, P-51D SX-U "Pregnant Patty", was flown by Capt. Leslie P. Cles. I think he was in this a/c on 8 Nov. 44 and was listed as POW. During this day, Capt. Cles shared claim to a JU88, in the open, on the Plantlunne Airfield. He shared the claim as damaged with Lt. Evans. However Cles was hit with flak and had to belly land the a/c in a small field. A flight straffed the a/c and same exploded. Capt. Cles spent the rest of the war as a POW. The field location where he bellied in would be pretty close to the Plantlunne Airfield. However, that is only an assumption on my part. PLEASE let me know if you should run across anymore information!

Michel - Capt. Cles is the only 353d Pilot lost this day. Notice my question marks after crash location - this notes crash location basically unknown. You can order a free copy of the MACR from Archives from Ms. Lynn Gamma: Lynn.Gamma@Maxwell.af.mil Should help with location Mike
