Re: Highest scoring B-29

Michael,

There is a spreadsheet of the 499th missions which downloads directly from this link:

http://www.exciteableitalian.com/73r...issions_FP.xls

You can search for Haynes and get a list of all the missions he flew in the 499th. There 18 missions showing him as either pilot or co-pilot (two of them are aborts). The first mission is 10 Feb 45 and the last mission is 25-26 May 45. (After his bail-out at Iwo Jima, he flew two more missions.)

The list shows the V code and serial number of the plane, plane name, date, target and pilots. Unfortunately no kills are recorded so it does not answer your question. It may be possible to use the information given to find kill info but that may not be on-line.

Of interest perhaps is it shows (after he transferred on Feb 2, 1945 from the 497th) he started flying missions very quickly. He also did not fly in a preferred plane. With only a couple of plane repeats he flew in different planes most of the time.
