Re: Areal photo of crashed B-17 in Germany
Hello,
Sorry to see that my earlier post (11) has not been replied too.
However I persevere.
It is accepted that witnesses have in many cases only vague memories of dates, even years.
So how about this B17?
I could find no mention of it in AAIR list for April 1945 or in MACR lists.
However the Joe Baugher lists does have it.
As does "The Heavy Bombers of the Mighty Eighth" page 20.
" 338306. 91 - 322 - LG -B - The Biggest Bird.
