Two weeks ago I obtained an American FLAK helmet (early model with the small ear pads) that was said to come from an American "Flying Fortress" that crashed in Noord Holland (this is more or less the aerea between Amsterdam and Den Helder) on June 21, 1944. Has anyone information on an American B-17 (or B-24 as all four engined USAAF aircraft were called Flying Fortress by the public in those days) that crashed in that part of Holland that day? Further info is that it was destroyed in the crash, so all belly landings are out. BW Roger
