Here are a few excerpts from the loss report on the SSgt Bono's B-17G: General information on the loss, with the names of the other crew members: View attachment 15166 Information on the loss (the first report refers to SSgt Bono's aircraft): View attachment 15167 Information on the fate of the crew: View attachment 15168 This is the report from the one survivor from the crew (Sgt Clark). I have trouble reading his handwriting, but I think he is saying that the three crew members that bailed out were shot by German troops. Bono was on of the three that bailed out. He said previously that Bono was "right behind [him]" when he bailed out. View attachment 15169
Glad you enjoyed it. I'm interesting in knowing what became of Sgt Clark's written statement. If he thinks three crew members were shot, I would assume that some type of investigation was launched.
