5 April 1945 B-17 near Rochefort (Belgium)

Hi,

The mission report for 5 April 1945 of 353rd Fighter group mentions :

Red tailed B17 (LG-V) made sweet wheels-down landing in corn field near Rochefort 1230 hrs. Personnel near A/C, apparently okay and dinghy spread on left wing.

Is any additional information regarding this aircraft and crew available ?

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards

Luc
