Re: Loss B-17F G 42-107044 1st. Lt. John R. Weaver
Hello Dirk,
the crash of the 42-107044 south of Isenbüttel was registered with the casualty no. KU 1434. In a distance message of the Air District Command XI to the Information Center West Oberursel on 17 April 1944 with the subject "new crash places of 11 April 1944" is listed: "KU 1434 1104 Uhr 1 km S Isenbüttel W Fallersleben GB 44, Boeing 98% Bruch. Kennzeichen am Rumpf L Stern NV. Seitenflosse schwarzes Dreieck mit weißem B, darunter nur 0744, darunter L. 2 Tote 7 Gefangene, Waggum birgt". You find this document in the file KUJ 827, the casualty no. for the downed P-51 B 43-12319 at Vorsfelde on 11 April 1944. The casualty no. KU 1434 was initially incorrectly assigned to four crew members of the B-17 42-31497 (2nd Lt Hesse, 2nd Lt Gatewood, 2nd Lt Bach and Sgt Hollenbeck) which crashed near Weißwasser (KU 1452). Regards Leo
