Re: Some details on the loss of B-17G 42-97828 Queenie?

Hi Alain, thanks for the info! One thing is strange, though - In my files I have 42-97828 as MIA on 9 February 1945. Seems this is wrong, as the 381st BG's war diaries record no loss on this date.
This website: http://www.381st.org/Portals/19/old381st/noseart-q.html says the ship was salvaged at the end of February 1945. Photos too indicate a crash-landing. Any idea what happened to "Queenie", when and why?
