Re: B-17 Forced landing in Velzeke (Belgium)
Hello John,Horst,FrankieS & Luc,
It is amazing the amount of information and help that you all posted.
It is correct that the region of Zottegem was 'liberated' on 1944 september the 03th. I'll try to contact a whitness and hope to confirm the real crashdate (9 or 10/11/1944). An old man told me that a few years ago he met one of the crewmembers :Ooren BROWN .Further on, he assured me that the warplane never returned to the USA or GB, but it was dismantled in the pasture were it made the belly landing!! I hope to obtain more info about the crewmembers and their mission.
For now have a great time and many thanks to you all
