Re: Areal photo of crashed B-17 in Germany
Hi Hans
Interesting business the your 22 February 1945 incident. Am I right in thinking that the reconnaissance aircraft photographed B24 42-95241 in the act of crash landing? Incidentally, daily ‘flash’ and first phase interpreters reports from this period do survive and they go down to pretty high levels of detail (eg tank tracks at such and such a Grid ref; small column of people on road at Grid ref), so someone can have fun tracking down whether or not some claimed late war events actually occurred. They can than have even more fun trying to track down the imagery to prove it. I once had quite a lot to do with it, so I can say with some confidence that there are about some 20-25 shelf kilometres of recon prints and films still surviving from WW2. I am also confident that Rolf’s B24 crash site was photographed, not necessarily at the time, but within a few months and that if he could only be sure of the location, a search of the relevant Casey Jones material might show up something. Best Chris |
