Re: Bomber loss for March 1945

I thought that this might be the day he was looking for but it seems it is not. According to Aleksandr Pokryshkin's book "Sky War" it lists three B-17 during this period that all the crew members bailed out (not all on the same day) and were taken to his airfield before "SMERSH" picked them up to go back to the west. It was stated that some of the members in one bomber were Americans that had come from the Ukraine that translated for the downed airmen in one B-17.
