: 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?
There was another B17 from the 94th that went down that day. it was the one my dad was on. I don't have the MACR handy, but one crew member, the pilot, was killed when his 'chute failed to open. The others were taken POW.
