B-17 43-38004 crash in Belgium

On december 12 1944 a B-17G-75-BO 43-38004 from 490BG-850BS made a crash landing somewhere in Belgium during an ops to Koblenz. The pilot was Davis EA . The aircraft was salvaged the 6/12/44. Who was the crew and what happened with them.

Alain,

It appears that the date should be 2 Dec 1944 and not 12 Dec 1944.
Target on 12 Dec 1944 for 490th BG was Darmstadt.

I heard that the mission on 2 Dec 1944 was completely abandoned due to poor weather. If Koblenz was the target, then the southern part of Belgium the most likely location?

Regards,

Leendert
