"Strawberry Bitch"
In the course of browsing over the Ploesti (August 1st) raid I have come across a conflicting issue regarding "Strawberry Bitch".
A few sources (the blurb in the Corgi B24 model. The Osprey "B24 Units Of The 15th Air Force, which gives the serial number as 42-72842 !) puts the SB at the August 1st raid. On the other hand, "Ploesti" Hill, " The Ploesti Raid" Freeman and " The Liberandos" Walker, make no mention of SB 42-72843 (the correct number) as having been on the raid..... Lastly I remember reading in "Log Of The Liberators" Birdsall! that SB arrived later in the year to the 376th. I am open to correction here as I do not have the book any longer. Anyone out there with the correct answer...........
