Re: B-17F # 42-30184 "Muggs"
These are from the official account of the Eighth's first year of ops ( "Target Germany").
1st BW to Heroya (Industrial targets).
4th BW (A) to Trondheim ( port).
4th BW (B) to Bergen (port) ( aborted low cloud below 5000 ft.). Trondheim was clear.
The damaged B-17 may be 381BG which landed in Sweden. The wounded could be 100BG. Note fresh red surround to insignia.
The Heroya target was a magnesium plant .
