Hi, first of all, congratulations on this beautiful page! This is a great reference for any historian or enthusiast like myself. Keep up the great work!
I have done quite a bit of research on this particular B17 as it crashed only about 15 minutes from my hometown. I’ve got some scans of photographs of the crash site, as well as a copy of the MACR. I’m more than happy to send them to you to add to your database, if you’re interested! All the best, Nils.
