B-17 losses on 19 July 1944
Pilots of JG 302 claimed 5 B-17 the 19. July 1944 south of munich near Starnberg, my hometown. I have knowlegde about one B-17 crashed that day near the village Tutzing, about 10 miles south of Starnberg.
This B-17, 42-31583, was from the 8th. AF, Group 303, 358th squadron. Does anybody have information about other missing B-17 that day south of munich? Thanks for help |

Hi Mike,
thanks for the info! >>Note: Marsin unusual Name (Typo?) but could be correct or could be >>Martin? Marvin is the correct name according the MACR. Do you have more information like serial about the one loss at Perchting (Unknown loss to me and the village is only 5miles away.) The two other loactions, Stossberg and Mils is about 50 miles away from my area of interest. Thanks a lot |
