Re: B17 - when - where ?
Hello ?
All that i saw was one photo of three dead airmen ... I went back and then saw the tail end of a wreck with a Triangle marking. Could be a "G" or an "S". Camouflaged with "Star & Bar" would that help date the 1943 time for loss ? "Star & Bar" with blue suround from 17th September 43, earlier one had Red suround from 29th June 43. "Fortresses of the Big Triangle" by Cliff T. Bishop may help with this as most if not all losses are noted in the book for both Bomber Groups up until 31st March 44. From the book with additions from Freeman's "B-17Flying Fortress Story" For the 305th BG from 17th Sept 43 losses were 42-3091 - 4th Oct 43 - cr Gross-Karben, Ger. 5 KIA 5 POW.

Re: B17 - when - where ?
I have the feeling, that this was the Eygelshoven B-17 from the Schweinfurt raid. The tail and three men came down in Holland, while the nose came down in Germany near Finkenrath. Danny
Khorat, you said there were more photos in the archive? Do you have copies of them? |
