POST 3716.
Photo 3. P-61B 42-39605 "Carolyn" 417NFS probably at Fritzlar Y-86 post-war; ex-Twelfth AF in the MTO, to 1st.TAF and 64th Wing. Gloss Black, red serial, white spinners.
4. B-26B 41-31773 PN-O "Flak Bait" (name from pilot's dog "Flea Bait"), record 202 missions. No group colours; a restoration project.
5. B-26B 42-96173 "Wolf Pack" K5-L, 394BG written-off 3 Feb. 45 after battle damage. Group marking white diagonal tail band, black borders.
6-7. Possibly both 394BG also, "Special Delivery" 42-96292 ( but 322BG records as lost with them Nov.18 44 from Beauvais).

Addition to photo 7. I think "Miss America" is 394BG; pilot's name below cockpit "Lt. C. M. Cook"--there is a pilot with same name on the 394th. Group roster (same sqn., 584th.) as no.5 "Wolf Pack" code K5.
