Mystery B-17
Since I haven't posted anything n a while I thought I would revive my mystery airplane thread. This is a picture of an early B-17F belly landed in a field. There are no divisional marks on the tail and the second letter of the code looks like "E" or "F". The picture appears in D.Caldwell's new book "Day Fighters Over the Reich" and it is suppoed to be a victory for Lt. Heinz Rose on July 28,1943. The same picture appears in an old copy of Heinz Knocke's "I Flew For the Fuhrer" from which I obtained the scan.
It is listed as one of his victories.
