Data derived from many sources. Corrections/Additions welcomed via Helpdesk

* NOTE ON DATES: IMPORTANT: For consistency, the Date is given as the date the mission TOOK OFF since the precise time of a loss is not always certain. Take Off date is unambigous and fixed in the official records, but obviously in those cases where the incident occurred before midnight UK time, then the Take Off Date will be the same as the Incident Date. Of course, most Bomber Command missions flew through midnight, therefore a Luftwaffe claim against a plane - or a locally generated crash report - may record the incident as occurring on the day following our Take Off Date. Bear this in mind when cross-referencing to our Luftwaffe Victories by Name/Date Database and other Luftwaffe sources. In some cases other sources may quote the date following our date, using locally generated reports as their source. To add to the potential for confusion, remember to take into account a Luftwaffe recorded date will be in local time, 1 hour ahead of UK time. When we discover a validated Incident Date we change our record if necessary

Caucade Cemetery, Nice France	Caucade Cemetery, Nice		B-26 crew of French squadron "Franche-Comté" took off on August 4, 1944 from Villecidro (Sardinia) to bombard the Charles Albert bridge (Var plain). The group of 6 Marauders enters a cloud mass near the objective. During the crossing of the cloud mass the B-26s slowed down and the Marauder 42-107726 which is the last is forced to slow down too much not to overtake the others, which causes it to stall and go into a spin. The plane crashed with its bombs on the crest of Plagels above the village of Mollière. No survivors. They are buried in the Caucade cemetery in Nice (06). Shortly after entering the Var valley, in order to bomb the Charles Albert bridge and the railway bridge of the 'Train des pignes' near the town of Plan-du-Var, Marauder #42-107726 crashes near Valdeblore. The 7 occupants, Captain Jean-Marie Cartier, pilot, Warrant Officer Albert Casanova, co-pilot, Lieutenant Robert William, navigator, Lieutenant Jacques Marini, bombardier, Chief Warrant Officer André Bertrand, mechanic, Staff Sergeants Pierre Ferrier, radio operator, and Antonin Donato, gunner, are killed in the crash.
