Re: B-24 shot down 2 July 1944

I've read stories before about B-17's going into a formation and relaying information but they were heading towards the target (books printed in the 1960's). I've always wondered why the Germans didn't load bombs on a few "rogue" B-17 or B-24's and send them back to the returning base. That would have probably have been worth the loss of one captured aircraft if caught leaving the target.
