Visited my grandparents in Liepaja, Latvia and was honored to see the memorial that was built about 15 miles from the crash site of the U.S. Navy's PB4Y2, BUNO 59645 crew. The aircraft was shot down during the soviet era on April 8, 1950.
I was born in Liepaja and spent some time there before moving to U.S. but never really realized what the monument was for. Really glad I got to see it a few days ago.
Good info, thanks, expensive for a small country but they remembered! Had to look this one up...... only A4's is old enough to remember that one......... AL Aviation Electronicsman (1948-1959) (to AT)
