Re: Unknown B-17
Hi !
If really from 487BG 839BS it could well be:
MACR 10758 26.11.1944 B-17 43-38141 487 839 pilot Burr E. Davidson, target Osnabrück.
"The B-17 fell back just before the target, doors open but it is not believed that the bombs were dropped. A fire in the bomb bay was seen. German reports, attached to the MACR, say the aircraft went down in Holland and the prisoners were collected on Gütersloh Airfield, Germany; the POW's came from the Krefeld area."
regards,
FrankieS
