Re: B-17, 43-38115, 43-38480
Hi,
Documents shown on "Footnote" show that -
43-38115 was MACR 9429 location given as Binlefeld, Germany.
43-38409 was MACR 9430 location given as Binlefeld, Germany.
BUT No MACR shown for 43-38480.
So looks like either the documents are wrong or "Footnote" has it wrong.
From Formans B17 History
