Re: FW190 JG2 at Nantes in 23/9/1943
My uncle was in the 379thbg he was a Tailgunner on a B17 thats original target was Rennes but because of smoke and cloud cover they went to the secondary target Nantes to St Jaques Airdrome. They were hit and downed by fighters on this mission. The AC#42-29937 crashed somewhere around there 8 crew members were captured and sent to camps and 2 evaded capture. One of it's engines is in a Airwarfare museum in Nantes.
