Re: B-17 Fortress losses 17 August 1943 in Rosenheim-Wörgl-Brixen area

Some crashes did occur in that way. On MACRs, the phrase to watch for is "last seen," but there is no guarantee that this exact wording will be there. I recall an incident that occurred in 1968. It was determined that a B-17 had made a successful belly landing but continued on to slide into a ravine, where it was found by hikers in that year.
