American B-17 bomber number G 42-30280 ‘Crazy Horse’ which was assigned to 482nd Bomber Group. This B17 bomber was a Pathfinder bomber and a radar equipped aircraft which was shot down on 21st February 1944 during a strike on a German airfield at Diepholz south of Bremen in Germany. This B-17 "Crazy Horse" fitted with H2X "Mickey" radar, during the raid, developed a series of mechanical issues and was subsequently attacked by enemy fighters near the German-Dutch border. Unable to return to England, the crew opted to bail out of the stricken aircraft. Pilot Ralph Holcombe was the only casualty of the 11-man crew.
The remains of ‘Crazy Horse’ were discovered during the summer of 1970 in Lake IJsselmeer, Netherlands. This was during a public works reclamation project in the area. Members of the Dutch Royal Air Force recovered several pieces of this aircraft including a propellor blade and hub, some of the radar equipment, and varied pieces of airframe. Several hundred pounds of "Crazy Horse" were sent by the Dutch military back to the United States.
