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?
