http://www.ebay.de/itm/Foto-2-WK-Kam...3D231903671535 http://www.ebay.de/itm/Foto-2-WK-Kam...3D231903686209 http://www.ebay.de/itm/Foto-2-WK-Kam...3D231903671535 text and info from http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org...7fortress.html "B-17F-90-BO "Down and Go!" B-17F-90-BO "Down and Go!" was surely cursed plane. Problems with plane piloted by Lieutenant Ned Palmer begun soon after take off. Both inner engines failed and pilot was forced to disable them. Crew wanted to drop some bombs on Germany and flew forward. Shortly before target engine number four overheated and pilot had to disable it too. Navigator set course on Sweden but plane has landed on Wehrmacht exercise field in Avedore Holme, Denmark. Plane was encircled by German soldiers but crew was able to destroy secret Norden gunsight. Plane was transported to city Kastrup, Denmark where was repaired by Heinkel plants' engineers. After repairs and traditional period of trials in Rechlin plane was transfered to KG 200 in Spring 1944 and coded A3+EE (however later had code A3+BB)."
