Re: Photos 2-14-12
That Fi 156 Storch has an odd, high contrast camouflage pattern, but no theater marking. Anyone have any idea or info about that aircraft?

Thanks Ed.

Shot down b17 94th BG, 332nd BS, "Spare Parts" damaged and crashed near Ebrach, Germany Oct 14, 1943. 10 POW. MACR 790
or
30151 (381st BG, 532rd BS, *Spare Parts*) crash landed St Omer, France due to mechanical problem Mar 4, 1944. MACR 2910.

because its an early model B17i would say the first.

It appears to be an 'L' on the tail, which is consistent with the 381st BG. The 94th BG was assigned the letter 'A' .
