| Lt. George C Maitland P-47C KIFA |

| Lost March 8, 1944 in 41-6229 HL-J returning from his fifth mission on 8th March that year, his aircraft was seen to dive out of low cloud and, unable to pull out in time, crash into the ground. The impact came at Watering Farm, Barking nr Needham Market. The exact cause was not established but was probably caused by vertigo and a lack of instrument time. Maitland information webpage |
