Identify B17 379th Bomb Group

[Laurent Rizzotti]

At least one French source says that 42-29773 was shot down by Flak. My fold3 account has expired and for some reason I can't renew it today, so I can't check the MACR, but on a general note you can ignore most of the "shot down by (pilot)" statement on the site of Mr Baugher. In most cases, there are so many German claims during battles against American heavy bombers that it is impossible to say who shot down who, especially as the bombers could take a lot of damage and still fly and crash far away from the crippling attack.
