Monument commémoratif

On 16 September 1944, on returning from a mission in Germany, a tragic accident occurred in the sky when two P-38 Lightning aircraft collided in the clouds. One of the two planes fell near Lierneux while that of the young pilot James F. Parker crashed on the heights of Manhay at a place called "Bahou", not far from where this monument was erected. They were both pilots in the 9th Air-Force, 394 Squadron of the 367th Fighter Group and were on their 18th mission.
