History of B-17F 42-30800 "Cock O’ The Walk". 563rd Bomb Squadron. 388th Bomb Group.

Lost on 29 February 1944 with Lt. Jake S. Colvin and his crew.

The one page in MACR said, the aircraft was last seen near Durch coast. But this can‘t be corrected, because the Germans found the wreckage near Bienrode and identified it by tail number.
