Mission Completion 1st's
Thought I would start a new thread rather than detract from the Memphis Belle thread.
I'm hoping that we can build a list of 1st's for various bombers ie names or registrations of the particular bomber that first completed it's tour eg Blenheim, Whitley, Wellington, Hampton, Boston, B-25, B-26, B-24, B-29, Lancaster, Halifax, Stirling etc. From the Memphis Belle thread we know that the first B-17 to complete 25 missions was "Hells Angels", although the Belle was the first to complete it with crew. Anyone know of first's for the above? |

Re: Mission Completion 1st's
I was actually thinking of the ETO Bill, but frankly it doesn't have to be limited to that Theatre.
And just in case I didn't make it clear, I'm interested in the first to complete a tour by bomber type, not just B-17's. For example, would anyone know what was the first Lancaster to complete a tour? |
