Hello;
I see that you have a little information on the B-17 that my father’s uncle died on (not sure if you have seen the entire declassified report). Seems that there was a blow up over Baselice Benvento Italy and his plane went down (I do not see it on your map of crash sites). I do have a picture of him and his comrades, but as the picture does not include anything of the plane, nor captions of who anyone is, I am unsure if this was the same crew that went down with my uncle. If you would like a copy of the picture, with a small caption of where in the photo that my uncle (Alfredo Eugene Francisco) is positioned, let me know the best way to send, and I will get it to you.
All the best,
Therese
