RAF at Zaventem 1944/5
Hi all
Can anyone point me in the direction of info/photos regarding this? My wifes grandfather was a radar tekkie with the Mitchells of 139 Wing and I'm trying to find info for him.
2 events stand out for him - siting on the karzi whilst the airfield was attacked by the Luftwaffe near New Year 1945 (Battle of the Bulge start?) and a US B24 crashing on take off full of servicemen and women returning to the UK/US.
Any info on anything to do with the RAF at Zaventem much appreciated!
Ta!
