42-3030 confusion ?
Hello,
Re the loss of B17F, 42-3030. Dick Drain has the a/c listed under 97th BG, " Departed U.S, 4 Apr, 43. Assigned 17 Apr, 43. Condemned 8 Apr, 44. Salvaged Overseas". BUT Joe Baugher has (FA) lost 4 April, 1943, South Pacific. And accideent report .com site has - Marrakech, French Morocco - UK, MACR 5662. Fold3 has the MACR, It say's that the a/c was on a delivery Ferry flight from the USA via North Africa to the UK. There seems one day delay in North Africa and a/c with five crew took off on the 4 the April,43 and was not seen again. Presumably down in the sea somewhere between North Africa and St. Eval, Cornwall. So how was the a/c assigned to the 97th BG after her disappearance ? Alex |
