B-17G 42-37876 - any information
I'm looking for any information of B 17G 42-37876 crashed in the Baltic Sea south of the island of Bornholm 11/4 1944. The aircraft belonged to USAAF, 8 Air Force, 95 Bomb Group, 412 Bomb Squadron and was coded QW-S.
T/O Horsham. OP: Poznan. MACR 3804 states: B 17G 42-37876 piloted by 2nd Lt Eugene T. Schiappacasse was hit by a T/EE/A from 2 o`clock high using rockets. A/c winged over to the left and climbed a little in control. No fire or damage visible. Ten chutes were seen to leave aircraft at 54`15N 15`00E at 12:18 hours. Can I trust the position of the accident: 54`15N 15`00E? It's really far, far from Bornholm Island, approx. 10 Nm off Polish coast.
