Monument 'King Size Crew Members'

On 25 December 1944, an US Army B-24 bomber flew over the village of La Fosse. It was returning from a mission over Germany. Seriously damaged by German fighters, the burning aircraft lost more and more altitude. Several crew members jumped out, while the pilots remained at the controls. When it arrived over the village of La Fosse, at low altitude, the B-24 lost one of its engines before crashing into a nearby field. Of the 9 crew members, only two survived.For more information : B-24 'King Size' - The Lost B-24 of La Fosse
