Many thanks again. Regards Richard.

B17 loss on 29th April 1944 over Brunswick, Germany
Even after removing the B-17 aircraft listed as being shot down by Flak/AA fire, the list is still comprehensive!
In the cold light of day I think that the chances of putting a positive ID on Oberleutnant Georg-Peter Eder's B-17 claim are very thin. That said, if anyone can add any light to the question from the remaining aircraft listed below, then I can assure you that it will be very well received indeed. Regards Richard.

Re: B17 loss on 29th April 1944 over Brunswick, Germany
Were there 2 different B-17's operating in Europe in 1944 both named Queenie?
I have read here that a B-17 Queenie was lost in April 1944. I have a photo of my grandfather posing with his crew in front of his b-17 also named Queenie, dated Aug. 1944. So does this mean there were 2 different Queenie's both in Europe in 1944? Incidentally, the noseart on this queenie is different that what I see represented on other pages. It is not the reclining girl in a swimsuit with the wide brim hat. Any info would be appreciated.
