Hello
Perhaps we can help each other.
My grandfather, who was 17, lived in Metz in 1943. He saved a pilot from an American bomber that crashed in the city.
It may have been your grandfather’s plane…
Perhaps we could get in touch?
Here’s my email:

My dad, Hubert Moseley, was the co-pilot on this plane. I thought it was shot down closer to Crepe-en-Valios. I do have a picture of the crashed plane. Given some time I could share it with you?

Hello, the Jimmy Boy 2 crashed not far from Crepy en Valois, more precisely between Boissy Fresnoy and Peroy les Gomberies. An uncle of mine saw it crash. I’ve been trying to find the family of these men for a while now. Could you please contact me?
