1) Was actually 42-5538 which was lost 12 Oct 1944 with Lt Donald Doyle & Lt Norman Williams
2) According to the well researched P-61 book by Jeff Kolln 42-5543 was named by Anderson
Tennessee Ridge Runner
The name Mildred is not listed, but it could of course been renamed after it was handed over
to a different crew. Your source please?

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Hi Stig. Photo of Anderson and Mogan (usual spelling) in a Key Aero mag. from 2017; "Mildred" is actually on the left cowling and she is Jet 622 Black, "Runner" being OD/NG so not same plane. Cowling names were normally supplemental.
Thanks
Nick

Re: eBay: Allied intrest
Nick,


Thank you very much. Number 13 interests me because I count three captains and two lieutenants. The average crew photo might contain one officer.

There is an inherent problem here since there were two Andersons in 422NFS
1/Lt John Anderson (who flew with Lt James Mogan)
1/Lt Raymond Anderson (who flew with Lt John Morris)

According to Frank Olynyk
John Anderson claimed two victories, both in 42-5543
Raymond Anderson claimed three, in three different P-61s, 42-5573, -5543, -5540

Unfortunately Kolln & Olynyk differs slightly with regards to dates, so I am not
going into that.
However none of the above aircraft is listed with the name 'Mildred', but it now seems clear
that it was John Anderson who named his aircraft 'Tennessee Ridge Runner' and not Raymond A.

Does Key explicitly state 'Mildred' was 42-5543?
Reason I ask is that I have very few books so well researched as the one by Jeff Kolln
