The other day a blog reader sent me a photo of the original memorial to 1/Lt Robert W. Whitehead, who was killed in a dogfight on April 11, 1945 south-east of Ceske Budejovice, Czechoslovakia. 1/Lt Whitehead with his flight of the 37th Squadron, 14th Fighter Group, 15th USAAF, had destroyed a couple of locomotives and railroad cars in the area when he encountered a pair of FW 190s returning to the base from a fighter-bomber mission in Austria or Moravia. The winner was subsequently shot down by 1/Lt Whitehead's wingman 1/Lt Harry R Morris Jr.
I have recieved the other images from Mr. Vladimir Kos from the town of Trebon, who is an aviation fan.
Current commemorative desk crash site (The components are not definitely original – does anynone identify what aircraft were they taken from?)
Detail of the text
Symbolic memorial composed of a remaing blade of 1/Lt Whitehead's P-38 in the neighbouring cemetery where he used to be buried. Notice the incorrect name: Bob Weit.
Current state of the memorial – notice the desk under the blade with the correct name.
Wrecks of the above mentioned Fw 190 lying next to a country road four miles away... The German pilot bailed out and survived.
