B17, 42-31183, 303rd BG, 15. August 1944 crash site found
Dear all,
B17, Bad Penny, 42-31183, lost on Mission 15th August 1944, 303rd BG
was found at a Forrest between Leonberg and Stuttgart.(South Germany) Not as written in MACR 8170 near Bitburg.
B17 was without crew flying south and was claimed by FW. Lennartz, ME262 Jet, over Leonberg. One wing was broke of and B17 crashed into a forrest. Many discussions were held that that was impossible.
But there was a plate found at the crash site with the radio call number 231183, Serial Number of the Bad Penny.
So I think some lists must be corrected.
Greetings to all.
