Re: Two B-17 losses 1945

The location of the B-17 on 7 May 1945 was approximately 14 miles off Benacre, Suffolk. It has been repeatedly said that flak over Ijmuiden hit the B-17 when it strayed from the designated "corridor" during the food-drop mission. However, in conversation with Cliff and Stan Bishop, I was informed that there is no mention whatsoever in the MACR of enemy action involved.
5th ERS at Holton were involved in the rescue of survivors.
