B-17G "Berlin Special" 42-31984, crashed 44
Hello,
I am looking for a colleague in Belgium for information of the B-17G-35-BO, "Berlin Special" 42-31984 from the 92nd Bomb Group (Podington, GB), crashed on 20.07.1944 at Leopoldsburg. He is working on the aviation history in this region. I would particularly like to know if there are German KU- or AV-reports about this crash. Many thanks for your help. Best regards Matthias |

The MACR 7408 for 42-31984 on fold3.com has at least 14 translated pages from KU-2540.
It also has a page from KU-2544. (The Germans may have mixed up some crews.) For those with fold3 access, MACR starts here: https://www.fold3.com/image/28725197?terms=7408 Last edited by RSwank; 26th August 2018 at 14:19. |

On the same site mentioned above, there are pages for each crewman. This page is for Stein, and it has the links to the other crewmen's pages.
http://aircraft-crashes-belgium.jouw...illiam-h-stein There are also six E&E reports at the National Archives: Burbank: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/5556774 Cook: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/5556775 Jones: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/5556776 Crouch: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/5556777 Nobel: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/5556778 Stein: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/5556949 (There are also summary pages for each of these reports in the MACR.)
