Re: B-17 pilot whose crew was credited with the most aerial kills

He flew missions in all these....
41-2640 4 July.
41-2665 30 July.
41-2643 7 August.
41-24391 26 August.
41-24384 29 August.
41-24458 in Sept. ( dates not known).
The 26 Rising Suns were painted on the rear access door, and the name was on both sides. The squadron insignia included a "93" and 3 Iron Crosses.

This is a close-up of the lettering behind the badge. I think you can read them.
"HOEVET FIELD" near the bottom is Mareeba airfield, Australia.
