Curtis R Biddick
 

Hi All

I am looking for conclusive proof which aircraft Curtis R Biddick of the 100th Bomber Group was flying when he crash landed in Fraserburgh on the 24th of July 1943

Depending where you look it was either Muggs or Wild Cargo

the 100thbg.com site has a few references bout not conclusive.

Thanks

All sources available to me says Biddick was in 42-30184

Muggs was 42-30184
Wild Cargo was 42-30064

What sources says something else?

Cheers
Stig

"“Encountering heavy, accurate flak over the target it was bombed and the 100th BG made it way home.

“However, the B17 ‘Wild Cargo’ 42-30064 took some hits, eventually dropped out of formation and made an emergency landing… at Fraserburgh.

“This is where history seems to diverge as a number of researchers indicate that is was the B17 ‘Muggs’ 42-30184 landed at Fraserburgh. More research required but lets go with ‘Wild Cargo’.”

The group continued to say how important it is to realise the role north east airfields played during the war."
