Re: ID of B-17

Hej Bronc and Alex,

Thank you very much for your input - very valuable as it is now irrelevant for the soon-to-be published eArticle about the German fighter ace Kurt Goltzsch, written by Leo Etgen, Andrew Arthy and I.

I am looking for a photo of B-17s relating to a raid on 6 September 1942, when Goltzsch shot down the first Eighth Air Force B-17 to be lost to the Luftwaffe. It was a raid by 54 B-17s of the 92nd and 97th BG against the Avions-Potez aircraft factory at Meaulte, 30 km east-north-east of Amiens. If you have any input for to look for a photo or two, that would be absolutely great

Thanks for the clarification regarding 42-6092!

All the best
Morten
