: 2Lt. John F. Meade, pilot on a B-17, was reported missing over Holland after a mission of August 19, 1943. His obituary states that the US government has conducted after the war a thorough investigation but could not find his remains.
: Who can tell me more about his Bomb Group, his aircraft, his crew and the circumstances of his death?
=========================================
2nd Lt. John F. Meade is not carried as MIA, nor is he buried in any American WWII Cemetery overseas.
That indicates, that his remains were found and accounted for. I would suggest you check his family plot or other cemeteries in the area where he either grew up or joined the service.
: Many thanks in advance.
