B-17 Forced landing in Velzeke (Belgium)
Hello to all,
I am a junior member on "12 O'clock high!" and I am looking for infomation about:
A B-17 that made a belly landing in the vicinity of Velzeke (near the city of Zottegem) on 13 november 1944.
Five crewmembers bailed out and the pilot and his navigator made a forced landing in a pasture. One of the crewmembers was Ooren BROWN.
I have seen some indistinct photos of the plane..but they were not very readable.
However on the tailgate the two last numbers are . . . 24 , underneath there is the letter "F".
On the fuselage just behind the "star", a letter "G" is clearly visible. I'm interested in the Operation of that day, the squadron & the names of the crewmembers or any information about the warplane.
Thank you very much and greetings from Belgium
