04/07/1946 Bastogne Beech 18
Received from one of our correspondents.
Pictures taken at Bastogne in July 1946. Earth from Bastogne was collected and sent to President Truman before the construction of the Mardasson before the construction of the monument.
It seems to be a Beech 18 but we cannot identify the registration of this aircraft. This is not an aircraft of Sabena nor of John Mahieux aviation.
Could it be a Beech assigned to the US Embassy in Belgium ?
Does anyone have more information.
By the way it confirm the existence of the landing strip near the Mardasson used by Sabena for transporting veterans from and to Brussels as André Dillien described.
Many thanks for your help.

Bonsoir Yves,
Merci pour votre message.
Voici les photos antiques, de très mauvaise qualité, mais inédites de ma cousine qui a vécu l'offensive von Runstedt et qui en a bcp souffert à l'âge de 19 ans. Elle était voisine et amie d'Augusta Chiwy.
J'aimerais si possible connaître le type d'avion, civil? militaire? bi-moteurs qui a traversé l'atlantique avec "la terre" de Bastogne.
Bien à vous,
Marianne

Bonjour Poly,
Merci pour ton coup de fil
Peux-tu identifier cet avion?
J'ai retrouvé ces photos personnelles chez une cousine qui a beaucoup souffert pendant l'offensive à Bastogne.
Il semblerait que lors de la construction du Mardasson, des "terres" de Bastogne aient été envoyées aux USA
Aurais-tu des infos à ce sujet? Où les trouver?
Cheers,
Marianne
