Hi Nick
Since the unit flew both F-5 and P-38, do you have a masterlist over converted P-38L
into F-5E?
No obvious PR details visible in the pic as far as I can see

Cheers
Stig

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Hi Stig. I have---somewhere. Quick reference, Joe Baugher's list in Block 44-23769 to 44-25058, P-38L-1 / F-5E-4.
F-5 features in photo : no guns, radio mast, flat under nose for vertical cameras, overall finish (lighting makes it look darker). Don't know what the marking on nose is (on all 3) maybe over the side camera port but not the 30PRS insignia.
Regards
Nick

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

Thanks Nick

I can now see why my usual ID (side cameras) is not visible.... the engine
is blocking that.

Cheers
Stig

Re: eBay: Allied intrest

This is B-17F 41-24445 "Southern Belle" also "Six Bits" 97BG; shot down probably by II./JG26 FW190, 6 Sept. 42 on VIIIBC Mission 10 to the Avions Potez factory at Meaulte (10 POW). Only short-range missions at this date. The first B-17s lost by Bomber Command, 1 from 97th, 1 from 92nd. A new "F", the 97th exchanged their B-17Es for the 92nd B-17Fs; 445 only arrived in August. No markings at this time and assigned to Twelfth AF in Nov.
The bomb is a 1000lb. M44 HE, a yellow ring at rear identified filling.
She may have been "Six Bits" when assigned temporarily to 92BG.

Update. From Don Caldwell's "JG26 Top guns of the Luftwaffe". 41-24445 shot down by Hptm. Meyer Stab./JG26; the 92BG B-17E 41-9026 "Baby Doll" by 4.Staffel and ditched in Channel.

Regards
Nick
