Re: identity of b-17F Worry Wort before sept 43
Hi
Thanks for links, but no this one went missing 8 oct '43. The photos of the crashed one,( in occupied territory) are pre sep '43,this was when the document was printed. Hence i was a bit confused... Presumably there was another b-17F worry wort cheers Jerry

Re: identity of b-17F Worry Wort before sept 43
Curiously I found no name for 42-30153 on the 381st BG website, nor elsewhere.
However, 42-3153 seems to have been called Worry Wart during the short time with 96th BG before being transferred to 95th BG in June 1943. But this B-17F survived the war... Regards, Leendert
