Re: MACR 16346

Thanks again Guys

I think we can safely discard any B-17F since only some 75-80 were accepted before our deadline
of 23 July 1942

None of those B-17Fs can be connected to either the unit or date in question.

We can also safely dismiss all B-17C, since they face the same problem as the Fs above

A quick search of all D/Es doesn't come up with the relevant date, but I have not checked
them in detail, 40-3060 is a possible candidate. All I have found is it was repaired after its
accident 7 Dec 1941 and went back to 42BS but then all data stops except a condemned date
in 1943. All very vague.
