Hi,

from lostbombers site:-

According to Theo Boiten's book Nachjagd War Diaries Vol 2,  there are several possible claims for Lancaster NG177:  14-15 March 1945.

Bill Chorley has written the 9 volumes of RAF Bomber Command Losses, including OTC's & HCU's. These records have taken many years to piece together.

There is a site that is often quoted for crew losses that appear on various Bomber Command related sites.

To all new members and guest, please be aware that this information is a true reflection of the work that Bill Chorley has worked so hard to establish.

I will say no more.

k4kitty is merely advising that the lostbombers website is made up almost entirely of plagiarised works of Chorley. As such one should be hesitant to rely on the information on the site.
