Comments:
On November 26, 1944 the 2nd SF took 12 ships from Steeple Morden to scout Misburg and Bielefeld. Four ships went down to check out Bielefeld while the remaining eight stayed out in front of the Misburg force. The group successfully defended an attack from German fighters. Captain Stauder was later lost returning from the mission when his Mustang was seen to dive inverted into the Channel near the Dutch coast and remains “Missing in Action”
