That's very interesting, I wonder what the status of the crew was after it took fire and went down.  Ben 

Hi Ben  /  Union Pacific B-17  /  What happen to the crew?

With an engine on fire, the crew abandoned the doomed aircraft but two men did not bail out and were killed when the B17 crashed 10 miles northeast of Munster and a third member died in hospital from injuries. The surviving seven became prisoners of war.
