Hello Jens,

See Joseph F. Baugher's website:
"USAAS-USAAC-USAAF-USAF Aircraft Serial Numbers--1908 to Present"
http://home.att.net/~jbaugher/usafserials.html
Go to his page:
"1943 Serial Numbers 43-5109 to 43-52437"
http://home.att.net/~jbaugher/1943_2.html
Scroll down to see this:
43-38274 through 43-38473: Boeing B-17G-85-BO Fortress
38283 (95th BG, 334th BS) lost Mar 17, 1945. MACR 13111

There is a photo of 43-38283 and some more information here:

There are short summaries of the 95th Bomb Group on these sites:
