Looking for information about B17F n° 42-30803 crashed on 1/12/43 in Montjoie en couserans

[Nick Hector]

Losses of the 8th and 9th Air Forces vol 1 states that the ball turret was blown off and the no.2 engine was set on fire. The entire interior was in flames, then it broke in two. Location is given as Elsig, near Frauenburg - just as has been pointed out.
