    I came across an interesting website that documents WWII aircraft wrecks primarily in Norway. It provides basic info about the wrecks and has photos of the wreck sites they visited. In most if not all cases, they provide the names of the crew members of each plane.

    As an example, here is the page for Lancaster L7572 which was shot down while taking part in a mission to attack the German Battleship Tirpitz.

    It is mostly in English, with some occasional passages in Norwegian. In those cases, Google Translate is your friend. Just copy & paste.

    I seem to recall maps showing wrecks posted by Kai-Petri, but I'll be darned if I can find it.

    RAF Losses posted to date on LostAircraft: http://www.lostaircraft.com/database.php?lang=en&mode=results&sk=date_start&sd=d&nation=7&flag=no

    There is only one USAAF loss report to date. http://www.lostaircraft.com/database.php?lang=en&mode=results&sk=date_start&sd=d&nation=8&flag=no

    There may be other Nations losses listed on LostAircraft: cdatabase.php?lang=en

    I found this using the unpublished url for the LostAircraft's Advanced Database Search Engine. Well worth saving in your favorites.
