A French village commemorates the American aircrew of World War II

The people of Avord, France, unveiled a memorial on 8 May 2014, honoring the crew of an American B-17 Flying Fortress shot down during World War II.

The B-17, nicknamed the Georgia Rebel II, crashed around 12:00 pm on 28 April 1944 during a bombing mission at a Nazi-occupied airfield, Avord air base in central France.
