I am the son -in-law of the survivor of this plane – Jerome J. Helmer. He died in 1985, married for 39 years and had a daughter and 2 grand children. If you have any pictures it would be appreciated. He did not talk much about his crew nor the POW. thanks glen

I am in touch with a German researcher who has been to the crash site and has more information on the battle and German pilot. We are all searching for a crew and plane picture.
