Gianandrea,

44th, 93rd, and 389th BGs were from the 8th Air Force. They were sent to the MTO on a temporary basis at the beginning of July to be part of Tidal Wave/Ploesti. The 44th flew missions in the MTO from July 2 to Oct 1, 1943. The 389th flew missions from July 9 to Oct 1, 1943. The 93rd flew missions from Dec 1942 to Feb 43, then July to Aug, and again a few missions Sept/Oct 1943. The three trips of the 93rd got them nicknamed ``Ted's Traveling Circus''.

Enjoy!

Frank.
