An Impossible Task?

[Jock Auld]

Guys,

Thankyou for that information, I will go back with that and see if it jogs their memories. How were you able to find this so quickly, is there some sort of database some where. Would a picture of the site be of any interest if I tied it up with a map for for the record?

Thanks Again!

Do you have any idea about what time of the year that the US bomber crashed ? And time of the year - Winter or summer ?

I have yet to visit that family although I will have an introduction from this family I hope. They are all farmers and are a close knit community. I shall let you know anything as soon as I have any detail. All I do know is somewhere in the Dagerford moores just North East of Bleckmar, which itself is about 2.5 Km North of Bergen on the B3 if that is any good!

Thanks again.

Good evening,

there are at least two matching losses:

B-17G 42-38108 on 29.03.1944 (Huxdahl)
B-17G 42-97363 on 20.06.1944 (Bleckmar).

The latter one is the a/c mentioned in the KU-reports attached to MACR 5805.

Regards,

Heuser
