B-17 43-37999 487BG lost in Belgium in 1945

[Buckeye30]

Stig I think more likely to be April 10, the Brandenburg Mission (938) as in the 487BG records, the 14th April Mission (948) was to the Bordeaux area so I don't think she would end up in Belgium.

She was 4F-M "Lecherous Lou" from the 837BS. Pilot 1/Lt. Julian Headley.

(42-37999 was in the Night Leaflet Sqn.).

Thanks Nick and Luc

Wonder why all books and Internet B-17 sites insist it was on the 14th?

Cheers
