Re: Lt. Bud Wentz B-17 on German Airfield
Dear Dr. Marktscheffel,
Lt Wentz landed his damaged B-17 at A-92, which is the code for the St Trond airfield in Belgium. There he left his B-17, which eventually returned to the 487th BG in Lavenham. Wentz himself flew a B-17 from St Trond to Merville (France), and then another from Merville to Honington (England). It is absolutely impossible to keep track of all of these 'ferry flights' of damaged and repaired a/c back to England and to tell you exactly when 42-39126. In my book about the history of the 487th BG is a photo of Lt Wentz' crew with a piece of Me 109 wreckage that had embedded itself in the B-17 after the collision. Kind regards, Ivo de Jong The Netherlands
