B-17G 42-97981 - 96th BG - 21-11-1944
Looking for the exact crash location of B-17G 42-97981 of 96th BG, 337th Sqn, based at Snetterton in Norfolk. Piloted by 2/Lt Jack C. CORE they bombed a target of opportunity at/near Koblenz, Germany. Engine problems homebound and crew baled out over friendly territory after a/c put on automatic pilot. It is believed the aircraft may have come down in the Uden area, province Noord-Brabant, Netherlands. Two airmen killed and already buried 23-11-1944 in the US Mil. Cem. at Margraten. Those killed were:
S/Sgt Joseph E. BRADSHAW - 18178861, and
S/Sgt Lowell E. WAMICK - 34703905.
Regards and thanks for your help.
Henk.
