Hi
Thanks for links, but no this one went missing 8 oct '43.
The photos of the crashed one,( in occupied territory) are pre sep '43,this was when the document was printed.
Hence i was a bit confused...
Presumably there was another b-17F worry wort
cheers
Jerry

Hi
Thanks for the info.
a closer look by me shows is it actually 'worry wart' not 'worry wort', as I had typed.
confusion cleared up now
cheers

Curiously I found no name for 42-30153 on the 381st BG website, nor elsewhere.
However, 42-3153 seems to have been called Worry Wart during the short time with 96th BG before being transferred to 95th BG in June 1943. But this B-17F survived the war...

Regards,

Leendert
