Hi Sue, Robert, Patti and all!
A/C 42-30135 crashlanded not in France between Rheims and Sedan and not according to other sources between Mainz and Wuerzburg and also definitively not in the target area around Schweinfurt, but elsewhere in Germany on the return flight, there's no doubt.
Tail gunner Fred Nunnold was no Evader, but a POW as the entire crew of ten. He was exchanged in September 1944 due to severity of the wounds and returned to the United States after spending 11 months in POW hospitals in Germany. Fred Nunnold died in June 2010, age 89.
