Hi,
This B-17 crash in my town, Joinville-le-Pont! All crew except one gunner (later captured and POWat luft Stalag 4) were in the crash. They were on a bombing mission over an industrial and railroad complex in Gennevilliers, nord-west of Paris.
I can provide you the exact localisation of the crash for the map if you need so
