I can't load that link for some reason,
but this was the info i read earlier today:
Just to clarify...it did not crash.
An emergency was reported after take off, and the aircraft made an emergency landing in a cornfield.
After the plane was evacuated, a fire engulfed the aircraft causing the loss.
This B-17 was an original WW2 (1943) produced aircraft, but it never saw combat.
It was purchased after the War by a preservation group and painted to match the Liberty Belle of the 390th.
