My uncle Walter David Hill was on the same mission in another B17 shot down with 5 of 9 lost. He survived with the help of the underground who got him to Albania where he was airlifted out. Do you have any info on his airplane and crew?

I believe this was your uncles plane. Hill is listed as one of the crew.
