A U.S. Army Air Forces B-17F Flying Fortress, like the one pictured here, was shot down and crashed in Eygelshoven, Netherlands, on Oct. 14, 1943. To honor the five U.S. aircrew who died, five taken prisoner of war and one still listed as missing in action – members from Army Field Support Battalion-Benelux, U.S. Army Garrison Benelux, the Dutch Ministry of Defense, and local veteran groups and historians met at the memorial site near the Eygelshoven Army Prepositioned Stocks-2 worksite – 80 years following that faithful day.
