Re: Lost B-17 on 6 september 1943
To All -
I just got the new Book To Kingdom Come by Robert Mrazek.
It is all about the 9/6/43 Mission to Stuttgart. I am leafing
through it for Info.
From Book: #42 - 5942 " Sky Shy " hit hard by Fighters. One tore up the Fuselage ,
Killed Top Turret Gunner and wounded both Waist Gunners. Another Fighter knocked
out an Engine. A Flak Burst knocked out controls and F/O Bowen ordered Crew to Bail.
German Fighters shot down other 3 B-17s that crashed near Stuttgart.
I'm going to read it tonite and see if I can find any more Info.
Mike
