I don’t believe the crew onboard when it was shot down is correct. My cousin 2nd Lt Michael Mahoney was on that flight that was shot down and he became a prisoner of war. That fact was documented in the New York papers yet no mention in your report

Never heared about the fact in New York papers. Do you have a copy?

A Mike Mahoney is listed as bombardier on this B-17 https://b17flyingfortress.de/en/b17/42-30371-iza-angel-ii/
Is he your cousin?

My Error in Little Lass…above article shows him part of that flight but not when he was shot down and became POW in Stalag Luft 3 Sagan-Silesia Bavaria and then moved to Nurenberg-Langwasser
