I'm uncertain if this information about the following tail numbers will be of any help.

#42-3093: B-17F-25-DL "NOBODY'S DARLIN"
351st Bomb Group, 510th Bomb Squadron
31 DEC 1943 crash landed due to battle damage on the coast of Burnham-on-Sea.
Salvaged on 03 JAN 1944.

#42-30606: B-17F-110-BO "EL DIABLO"
306th Bomb Group, 367 Bomb Squadron.
Lost 02 JAN 1944; MACR 1681.

Hi
thanks for the reply, but I think from the diary/log this B-17 was circa july '43.
so possibly the b-17 N-NV before 44-6144

Hi
Many thanks for the info on 5916.
so this probably means that 230606 RD-H was also circa 7 july 43, as it is the adjacent entry in the log.
cheers
