Re: Lost B-17 on 6 september 1943
To All -
I just got the new Book To Kingdom Come by Robert Mrazek. It is all about the 9/6/43 Mission to Stuttgart. I am leafing through it for Info. From Book: #42 - 5942 " Sky Shy " hit hard by Fighters. One tore up the Fuselage , Killed Top Turret Gunner and wounded both Waist Gunners. Another Fighter knocked out an Engine. A Flak Burst knocked out controls and F/O Bowen ordered Crew to Bail. German Fighters shot down other 3 B-17s that crashed near Stuttgart. I'm going to read it tonite and see if I can find any more Info. Mike |
