Peter:
 
I have a copy of a Swiss Documentary of B-17s and B-24s landing, crashing at Dubendorf. One of the B-17s is named "BROWN NOSE". I will have to dig the film out to see if there is a S/N on it.

Peter,
 
No joy on locating a photograph but the narrative at attachment may be of interest to you.

Thanks for your replies...
How ever I think that Brown nose I am looking for was B-17!!! from 2.BG. I posted the serial number as well.
I know the narrative, it comes from the book of 2.BG - very nice one. I have MACR and narration of some airmen and also one not very good but rare photo of this plane in flames going down;) But need th nose art or whole plane photo on base in peacefull atmosphere;)
anyone????
