Re: B-17 43-37999 487BG lost in Belgium in 1945

The 3rd.AD targets on the 10th were airfields in the Brandenburg area including Briest, Stendal and Zerbst; these are a target photo (Briest) and a US 1943 location map.

In Freeman's "Mighty Eighth War Diary" there is a photo of 44-8702 2G-S from the 487th hit by Flak over the target.
