Thanks

Good morning Bubba !

The only Bonerath in Germany by my knowledge is located about 11 km southeast of Trier, Germany. By German Luftwaffenkommando files took a belly- landing of a B-17, USAAF s/n 44-6087 (306th BG, 368th BS) place near Bonerath, reported on October 15th, 1944 (See German reports # KU 3190, 3182 and KU 3221 + MACR 9477). All of the crew was unhurt and got POW.

In postwar reports, this event was also reported as taking place at the nearby village of Holzerath.

Unfortunately, I have never heard anything of a Mosquito crash near Bonerath.

Best wishes !
