Hi,
as I am busy researching some reports on the Geronimo, pls note it did not crash in Malmedy but in Haren, close to Brussels.
It needs to be corrected in your database.
Hope it helped you

My Dad, Alton Pierce and my uncle Ted Pierce, flew 18 of their 35 missions on Geronimo. Their very first mission was on April 4, 1944 and the last on Geronimo was July 7, 1944.

Hello Richard,
thank you for sharing your Dad’s and uncle’s history! Did they flew together on missions in the same B-17?
