P-38 Crash Chartridge 7/1/1944

[stickman]

Hi
Does anyone know where the source material is which Peter Halliday used to compile his typed list The Chiltern Prangs in 2000?
Peter recorded this crash as being on 1/1/1943 but I believe it was on 7/1/1943. Where did he get information on this crash?
Thanks in advance
Chris

Depending where you are from 1/1/43 (Jan. 1, 1943), 7/1/43 (Jan 7, 1943 or July 1,1943)

If you fill in P-38 (Aircraft Type) and ENG (Country) you can get a list of P-38 crashes in England by date. Unfortunately neither 1/1/43 or 7/1/43 (Jan., July) show up.

Thanks for your heads-up. I have had a good look and done some cross referencing. There are certainly some missing entries in this list where I have some information from others. I'm analysing the data to try and pull it together.

Unfortunately these reports are incomplete as I do have the MACR for Wagner and there is no record in the AAIR of the incident.

I'm a bit confused. You mention you have an MACR (Missing Air Crew Report) which wouldn't be considered an accident. Accident's and MACR's are two different items.
