2nd Lt. Graham Lupton was forced to bail out - 8000 ft - due to material failure
while on an escort mission with destination Ruhland, Germany - course 140° .
The P51-B "Mustang" had been losing oil pressure & coolant and fire was streaming
from the engine. It was still flyable - altitude 10000 ft - until the flames forced him

one being Enschede, Prov. of Overijssel, Holland.
