Re: Which 5 b-17s of 323 BS take off on 4 feb 1943. Hamm Raid.

Trying to link infos from here : http://www.91stbombgroup.com/Dailies/323rd1-1to3-30-43.html
& there : http://www.bombsqd323rd.com/airplanes.html

Wild guess :
Lt. Birdsong's crew : probably "Delta Rebel no 2"
Lt. McCarty's crew : possibly "Stupntakit"
Capt. Bishop's crew : ????

Wilder guess :
Perhaps in the MACRs of "Texas Bronco" & "Pennsylvania Polka" are mentioned the name & plane # of the eye-witnesses.
NO they DON'T ! : http://heroesoffreedom.nl/lostlist.html
