The B-17G is interesting, 42-38017 (349/100) was damaged believed by 2 B-17s shot down above her on Mission 246 to Berlin March 3 1944; force-landed at Schleswig-Land airfield by Ju.88s en-route to Sweden, then taken on by 1./KG200 (probably as A3-BB) for short-range ops. carrying agents and supplies. On a mission 3 March 1945 shot down by a night fighter (possibly US) at Luvigny (Vosges).
She was named "One mission LuLu" just before the Berlin mission as the crew's regular B-17 was out of action.
