Re: Tour of missions

We had some interesting discussion Friday at Udvar-Hazy as all the parts of the 9th AF 322nd BG B-26 "Flak Bait" are now in the new restoration hangar and work is starting on the preservation to re-assemble the aircraft and display it on the main floor of the museum.

The original crew lead by pilot Lt James Farrell named the aircraft, but after they completed their tour ( I don't know how any missions), then other crews used the bomber which eventually flew 202 bombing missions. The curator indicated that research is continuing to learn how many different crews did fly this Marauder.
