Our thanks to the Carpetbagger Aviation Museum in Harrington, U.K. for permission to reproduce here the article, “A Small Mistake–Large Effects” by  the late Rene Londoz which was published in the museum’s newsletter, “The Dropzone”, Vol. 4, Issue 1, April 2006. The article also appeared in a collection of stories by the late Virgil R. Marco, Sr., entitled My Stories of World War II.  Our thanks also to AFEES member Dirk Vijverman for bringing the article to our attention.  Links to the airmen shot down were added to the Index to Evaders and a link to the German pilot was added to the Index to Other Subjects, both on this website.
