: I am looking for informations about the crash of a bomber at 27.september 1943. This was the attack on Emden. One B17 was shot down by the flak und crashed in Ihlowerfehn. 1 man survived. Who has more informations?

Hi,
I can see only one B-17 aircraft from the 3AD, that went down on 27.9.43, which may be the aircraft you are seeking information on, but two crew members were KIA.
Pilot FO Alfred Drabnis and Navigator
2nd Lt. Lester A. Leonard.

96thBG/339thBS,
a/c serial# 42-30792
FTR AA CR. Emden, Germany
Pilot FO Alfred Drabnis,
2 KIA, 8 POW,
MACR 756.

This a/c last seen going down after target, with 2 & 3 engines on fire.

Cheers,
Moofy
