Dear,
B-17 ‘Georgia Peach’ 43-37874 landed at Grimbergen Airfield (B-60, North of Brussels) on 13 January 1945. The pilot was Curtis. Do you have the other names of the crew members or more information of the mission on that day. I am writing a book about the wartime history of Grimbergen airfield, all information about the Georgia Peach and Grimbergen is very welcome. Kind regards,
Frans
