Re: B-17F shot down in North Africa
Let's sum up.
This B-17F, assuming that it IS its own tail (and not borrowed to another), was diverted from 8th AF 303rd BG to AFSC on 19.03.43 (or 03.19.43 for our American readers). Destroyed in a way or another in Tunisia (the road and the poles nearby could suggest an attempted crash-landing), a campaign that ended early May.
Thus, these facts limit the scope to a period extending from 20.03.43 to late April (assuming PK photographers were taken home before the final surrender).
I also checked the MACRs, none was filled for 42-5357.
