Hi !

This plane is mentioned to have crashlanded at Florennes airfield (Belgium) on February 15,1945 (pilot Raymond E.Rudkins) and is also reported as returned to the US after WWII.
Who has more details about this crashlanding?
What happened to the crew (names and fate of the other crewmembers ? ) and plane ?

Many thanks and best regards from freezing Belgium

Luc

Mike,

Many thanks for your reply, info and link to the 95th BG website. It has a very nice photograph of the plane in question and confirms that it returned to the US after the War.
Still looking for the names of the crew for february 15,1945.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Luc

If you request the MACR (Missing Aircraft Report) of this plane you will get a list of the crewmembers!
 
Best Regards,

Since the B - 17 landed in Allied territory -
No MACR issued.
