43-38735 Flat Top
The image is from an album owned by Bradford S. Rawlinson, 92nd Bomb Group, 407th Bomb Squadron. The image is tied to other images that show a cross-shaped crash site marker with the text "___ ___ ale Besatzung eines am 14.2.45 abgeschassenen USA Bombers." A barely readable name board with seven entries is nailed over earlier text. The photographer is unknown.
