	B-17F 42-30157 "Hell's Belles" (coded OR-P) sits forlornly in a farmer's field adjacent to Bassingbourn. On the 30 July 1943 mission to Kassel, 2LT Donald van der Heyde's crew was beaten up and turned back just after crossing the Dutch coast. Landing with the hydraulic system shot out, "Hell's Belles" had no way to stop, careening off the runway and incurring more damage as it rode rough-shod through the field. It was declared salvage shortly thereafter. Source WWII US Air Force Photos…Page 1 Made 18 Jun 2009

	5 January 1944: B-17F 42-5804 "Hell's Halo" (coded LG-R) of the 322nd Bomb Sq, 91st BG, isn't on the mission schedule today - at least as far as the squadron's daily reports are concerned. She flew the previous day's sortie to Kiel with CAPT LeRoy B. Everett's crew. On the 11th, beaten up badly over Oschersleben, Everett's crew crash-landed "Hell's Halo" at the 389th BG's Home field of Hethel; she was good only for the salvage crews after that.

	B-17G 42-37779 "Pist'l Packin' Mama" (coded DF-B) of the 324th Bomb Sq, 91st BG, Bassingbourn. An early production "G" model (note the open waist windows), she flew 25 missions before being reassigned to Air Force Service Command on 3 May 1944.

	18 June 1944: B-17G 42-107027 "Hikin' For Home" (coded LG-Y) of the 322nd Bomb Sq, 91st BG, flies a practice hop while the rest of the group blasted Hamburg. Previously known as "The Bloody Bucket," this ship was badly damaged on the 5 June mission to Houlgate. After extensive repairs (and re-naming), she was assigned to LT David Hanst's crew - who would go to Hamburg themselves aboard this ship on 20 June. She would eventually log over 90 combat sorties (later coded LG-X) before the end of the war. Source WWII US Air Force Photos…Page 1 Made 18 Jun 2009
	Figure out THIS piece of cowling art. With the pointy ears and curly-tipped shoes - maybe a female gremlin? The #2 engine cowling of B-17F 42-5069 "Our Gang" (coded DF-G) of the 324th Bomb Sq, 91st BG. Source WWII US Air Force Photos…Page 1 Made 18 Jun 2009
	B-17F 42-5069 "Our Gang" (coded DF-G) of the 324th Bomb Sq, 91st BG, Bassingbourn. The ship's first recorded mission was the 30 December 1942 trip to Lorient. She was lost 17 August 1943 with 1LT William Wheeler's crew; all survived to become POWs for the duration of hostilities. Source WWII US Air Force Photos…Page 1 Made 18 Jun 2009

	December 1943: Another captioning error. B-17F 42-5714 (coded OR-N), a "no name" Fortress of the 323rd Bomb Sq, 91st BG, was lost on the 14 October 1943 mission to Nancy with 2LT Robert M. Slane's crew. Most of them bailed out; tail gunner SGT Claud J. Smith was mortally wounded by enemy fighters and navigator 2LT Arthur G. Foster evaded capture. Slane belly-landed the ship, not knowing if Smith was still alive. Slane was captured; he and the remaining seven crewmen became POWs for the duration of the war.

	9 March 1944: NOT. An unfortunate captioning error, the last mission flown by B-17F 42-30712 "Miss Minookie" (coded OR-R) of the 323rd Bomb Sq, 91st BG was on 21 February - a strike from which she and LT Neal P. Ward's crew failed to return. Leading a spare element, "Miss Minookie" lagged behind and missed a turn by the rest of the formation in broken cumulus. Before they could catch up, they were hit by fighters. Four crewmen were KIA; Ward and the remining five became POWs for the duration of the war.
