Directions to the Memorial (Text retrieved from website: http://www.the-vendee.co.uk/winter.htm --currently unavailable)
On the eastern fringe of Aizenay forest (take the D948 towards La Roche, turn off following signs to La Genétouze on to the D4). A memorial commemorates five of the 10-strong US bomber crew who died when their Flying Fortress crashed into a field (now encroached on by the forest) in March 1944. Among the trees you'll find, on modern aluminium shards, the tale of the five survivors - two of whom escaped to Spain - and a water-filled crater at the spot where the fuselage hit the ground.
