Since 10 years I am looking for the crash place that never was found from the Military Mortuary Services when the war ended and which seems still today forgotten.
I copied all the names as written by Aleksandar Kolo , the Historian of the Air Museum in Belgrade , Serbia , who is Author of the documentedBook “ Sky Odyssey “ with the whole story of the4 Liberators assigned to Yugo Crews -3 lost in combat - , called in the 15th Air Force USAAF :YugoslavDetachment .
Thanks to Kolo and all the new contributors in news and contacts.
