Re: B-17  401st BG 615th Sq    IY-P Help needed

Thanks a lot for this informations.
I believe it will be 42-6310 because there was some other photos of a crashed B-24 in the same area, September 10th a B-24 of the 446. was lost - so I see the single B-24 loss in the same area as the IY-P´s.
Hope to get some other photos maybe there´s more to see. The crash side must be Heimerdingen near Munich.
Regards from Germany  Michael

I believe the serial number should be 44-6310. No known photos in the National Archives.  There was no 43-6310 in the 401st according to the Bits and Pieces Project booklet that lists First Air Division B-17s by group and serial numbers.
