"Flyet blev ramt af flak over målet, og på hjemturen
forlod flyet pludselig formationen over Østersøen. En faldskærm blev observeret
og lidt senere sås 6 faldskærme.
4 flyvere fra B17 107105 blev
begravet på Svinø Kirkegård og 1 i Rødby. 2 er begravet i USA og 1 har ingen
kendt grav. 1 flyver blev krigsfange. "The plane was hit by flak over the target, and
on the return flight the plane suddenly left the formation over the Baltic Sea.
A parachute was observed and a little later MACR has more: "I saw the geyser of water shoot
up into the air when the plane struck. It may have been white smoke. All the
parachutes came down in the water, See
