Besides : I can inform those of you who come across an USAAF marked B-17G lying on belly on very smooth white (Ice) field with an UC-64 Norseman beside it - shot taken from an C-46/47 then its not "island" but "Grönland" in background and East Coast near Skjöldungen to be exact. 42-97854 was on way to 390th BG in Britain, but got lost after very bad navigation (if any) but was lead in by Contract Carrier Curtiss C-46 Commando of NEA Capt. Dana (flight Narsasuaq to Keflavik Meeks Field weekly "Milk run" from Boston MA). No, that B-17 is not waiting there still with the key in the lock.
Quite right Ed

I thought writing 'tyske fly' would narrow down the search finds, but it seems to be rather the opposite. Tyske fly: 7996 hits, fly: 1060 hits....
Perhaps looking through all 7996 is a bit to much for most of us...

Anyway, I am looking forward to go through them. Let's see how far I get...

Cheers
Stig
