My father was a crew member on this B17, flying out of the desert of North Africa during spring/summer of 1943. He did the required 50 missions. No crew members were injured during that time and the plane was never damaged. His name was George Jacobi and was a bombardier/navigator. Their outfit was known as the Black Diamonds. George’s grandfather was born in Mannheim.
