    Default To commemorate a B-24 pilot Arthur Lindell

    Ad you may know already, I live in SW part of Poland,which was a part of Germany before and during the WWII. Moreover, some 50 km east of my place are chemical factories that wete a target for American bombung actions in 1944.
    On Dec 26th 1944 one of the B-24J Liberators was shot down. Pilot Lt. Arthur Lindell was killed in action, but he is still remembered among people living here and around Kędzierzyn-Koźle town (Cosel in WWII).
    This weekend a modelmakers convention has neen organized nraring the name of the gallen airman.

    Below is the link to an article in local press.
    The coverage is in Polish, but believe me, the event has been widely reported in regional media.

    Thank you for the link to the article, Andrzej. It looks like there was a good collection of models.

    Is there a special reason why he local people remember Lt. Arthur Lindell out of all the other airmen, who were lost on that raid, please?
