David Birnbaum
My uncle was a B-24 pilot shot down on Jan. 24, 1944 southeast of Elbasan, Albania. He held the plane while the crew bailed out. The crew survived and he was last seen heading for Italy on two engines.
The Embassy has been a great help is searching crash sites but to help I'm trying to narrow of the area of search. The one possibility is from an interrogation officer who spoke with the crew at point of capture in Elbasan. Looking for a Luftwaffe Claim report. Maybe at NARA? Any suggestions would sure be helpful. |
