42-95177 Bo II

First served with the 458th BG, 752nd BS

Obtained by the 492nd BG from the 458th BG in the J for H trade for PROJECT AZON. Its last mission with the 458th was on 21 May 44 and its first one at the 492nd was on 29 May 44 so it came during that time. 

On 20 Jun 44 the 857th borrowed 44-40103 SAY WHEN from the 859th and it was lost. On paper, they owed the 859th a replacement plane so they gave them this one.
