Object Number - UPL 40038 - 2Lt Lloyd L Eadline, Pilot on P51D 44-63248 78th Fighter Group, which crashed into the Lake Ijsselmeer Holland on February 24th 1945.....
SECOND LIEUTENANT LLOYD LONDOWER EADLINE was born in Haddon Heights, New Jersey on March 4, 1922. He had lived at 9 Fraser Avenue in Collingswood NJ before entering the Army Air Force. A fighter pilot, Lt. Eadline was flying a P-51D Mustang, serial # 44-63248, designated HL-Y in his squadron, when he was killed in action. It appears that after attacking a ground target in Germany, his plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire, forcing him to attempt to fly back to England short on fuel. The last radio contact with Lieutenant Eadline states that he was bailing out over the Zuider Zee. Although another plane searched the area, no trace of Lieutenant Eadline was seen.
