I am interested in B-17 43-38032 sortie of 17 September 1944. The B-17 was part of 490th Bomb Group, Flight 490C-2.
The objective was coordinates 39/592758 : target near the town of Wageningen, The Netherlands.
I wonder if there is a ‘report’ on this mission.

Did you tried to contact 490th Bomb Group Momorial?
