Sylvester, 499BG (he survived the Dec.13 mission) is on this board, plane no. 36; this is part of a 73rd Wing major operation. Can't see a date but the codes at the top are for the Feb.-May 1945 period......
SANDY = 499BG call sign, V608 = 499th radio code. PLUTO = 500BG, V609 = 500th radio. All 500th returned, 499th lost one ( Wilkinson plane 8). Sylvester and Sander (plane 15) landed on Iwo Jima.
