New section - `Crash Sites` 22 Jan. 2008

Created a new section "Crash Sites", containing photos and details pertaining to 434 crews which crashed between 1943 - 1945. I have had submission of photos and inquiries on crash locations; should anyone be able to provide further info on what I have posted or wish to submit photos on a crash site I would be more then happy to create a page for that crash/crew. So far crash sites for crews 15, 36, and 44 are posted, and if you go into P/O C.V. Soderstrom section crew 88 has crash site details.
Lytle%20crash%20aircraft1.jpgPictured left is crash site of Crew 15 - P/O Lytle and crew, I would like to thank Barry Dickieson for photos from "Harry's Story" website
Crew 36 - S/Ldr L. Linnell and crew, Thanks to Bob Linnell for photo's and details. Bob produced a documentary "Last Flight to Berlin"  a non fiction account of his father's last flight, interview with nightfighter pilot, and a return to crash site 60 years later. A must see.
Crew 44 - R.H. Smith and crew, Thanks to Dirk Hartmann, he contacted website with photo's and details on this crash site. Subsequently I searched for relatives and found a nephew of crew member Michael Vitch. Hopefully his photo(s) will be arriving shortley.
