It looks like Edwin G Pipp Service Number O-791496 was on board.

10 Feb 1943 crash landed B-17 42-5258 in Cornwall with no injuries to the crew. Poor visibility at that time. Planes were returning from Marrakech.

Some additional information that I just found:

Quote:
10/02/1943 1335hrs Boeing B-17F 42-5258 U.S. 8th Air Force en-route from Morocco, North Africa crashed in a field at Treswithick Farm, Cardinham. The aircraft was completely smashed, but the 9 occupants were safe.

From http://www.rafdavidstowmoor.org/crash-l ... crash-log/

Interesting that it was only 9 occupants rather than the full 10.
