44-40169 Bottle Baby
492nd BG - 856th BS
Shot down 20 June 1944 - Milton K. Goodridge Crew
19 Jun 44 transferred to the 856th when the 858th was cut from the Group. The new squadron and tail codes were not repainted due to lack of time. However, this plane would have been assigned a new tail letter because the letter I was already in use. According to the formation sheet and the J FORM for mission 34, this aircraft was still using its old 858th letter with the underline. The J FORM clearly shows this plane was assigned to the 856th. 20 Jun 44: Lost with Goodridge Crew 812 Shot down over the Baltic Sea on approch to target 9 KIA, 1 POW, MACR 7081
