Re: B-17 Forced landing in Velzeke (Belgium)
Redcap,
Lt Edgar R. Prigmore Jr. (1923-1996) was from Mississippi.
The other mentioned crew member may be identified as (Sgt) Oren C. Brown from Tennessee (1923-1986).
The 94th BG website says 10 Nov 1944 as date of crash landing. B-17 43-38824 was assigned to 410th BS according website.
94th BG bombed an airfield at Wiesbaden, Germany that day.
The B-17 was hit by flak over the target and co-pilot 1st Lt Jack W. Malahy (1924-1997, Illinois) got wounded. The landing went without further injuries and Malahy could be hospitalized in Brussels.
Beste groet,
Leendert
