B-17 'Sugar Blues' (42-37939 OR) 323rd BS, 91st BG Roman V. Maziarz and crew had been flying B-17G 42-37939 "Sugar Blues" (coded OR-S) on the 22 February 1944 mission to Bunde. Savaged by enemy fighters, Maziarz managed to nurse the ship far enough to make a successful (the co-pilot was slightly injured) ditching in friendly waters. A crewman holds the only remnant of their ship, an A-2 jacket decorated with the nose art. The rest of the crew wears (dry) RAF uniforms.
