Bomber loss for March 1945

I don't have much information for U.S. bomber losses for March 1945 but I am looking for a B-17 or B-24 that was hit in the region of Berlin. The crew continued flying the bomber into Poland before bailing out and being recovered by the Russians. This could have been with the 8th or 15th USAAF. Would like the names of the crew if possible.

Re: Bomber loss for March 1945

Hello Nokose,
Perhaps you could narrow it down a little.
The March 1945 B17 and B24 losses that have MACR total aprox 280 aircraft.
So a date or particular week might just help.
Alex

Re: Bomber loss for March 1945

Sorry Alex but he doesn't have much that I can give 18-31 March 1945 is the overall stretch. Originally it was the 18 and 28 Mar 1945 but he didn't find it on the http://www.8thafhs.org/combat1945.htm so I came here hoping for an answer.

Re: Bomber loss for March 1945

I thought that this might be the day he was looking for but it seems it is not. According to Aleksandr Pokryshkin's book "Sky War" it lists three B-17 during this period that all the crew members bailed out (not all on the same day) and were taken to his airfield before "SMERSH" picked them up to go back to the west. It was stated that some of the members in one bomber were Americans that had come from the Ukraine that translated for the downed airmen in one B-17.
