Re: B-17 Wesel

This link has the story of Lt Col Benton R Baldwin:

There is even a photo of the crashed B-17, unfortunately the serial number is not quite readable.

There does not appear to have been a MACR or Accident Report written for the loss.

Richard C Hottelet's Collier's article on the event:

There are a couple of photos on fold3.com:
