Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Ed. Photo 4: B-17F 42-30813 RD-L, 306BG (Queen Jeannie) shot down on the Schweinfurt mission 14 Oct. 1943 over Belgium; the Group lost 10 from 18 sent (55%). Total losses 60. The MACR is 820. It was very considerate of the Germans to stand by the serial number.

Hi I am afraid it is not the good RH-R as the hangar is Mourmelon at 230 kms eastern side Bertrand |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Andy,
That RH-R Battle is K9352 of 88 Squadron, damaged on 10 May 1940. At least one photograph shows a partial serial, but enough to reveal it as K9352. Also on my website below. https://martinaviationpages.com/ Regards, Martin. |

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Hi Ed. The Schweinfurt mission above was led by Col. Budd Peaslee; in 1944 as c/o of the Scout Force (Experimental) his call-sign was "BUCKEYE 30" (their ex-bomber pilots were "Buckeye 30-37" and ex-fighter pilots "Borax 40-47".

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Very interesting Nick. Some years back, a request was made for call signs and code names used by bomber crews. Nothing came of it.
Regards, Ed |

This is "The Hunting Club", 303BG as VK-B; lost 22.6.43.The artwork is on the left tail rather than nose, more common in Fifteenth AF. but also on several in the Group: Donald Duck with a blunderbus, written above is "Good Huntin'". MACR is 3077.
