WE NEED YOUR HELP
Hello, my name is Michele Becchi, wrote from italy, i'm an historical researcher.
On october 19, 1944 three B-26 of 440th BS was shot down over Mantua (north italy) by Bf109 of 2nd Fighter Group of ANR (fascist air force). Whole crew of "93" (pilot Lt. Robert) and "97" (pilot Lt. O'Bryant) bail out safely, but on ship "88" (pilot Lt. Treadwell) only two chute was seen before crash.
My friend Claudio Mischi (from Mantova) report me a statement from an eyewitness, about two crewman of "88" killed by fascist forces after his landing, with a gun shot in his head. Anyone can help us? We need any kind of information and the crew list of three ships.
Many thanks to all and excuse me for my bad english.
