44-40069 Little Red

11 May 44: Lost with Uebelhoer Crew 904

Ran out of fuel on return from a mission, crash landed in the UK.

Salvaged, 11 May 44

This plane never had a tail letter assigned to it. But it was replaced with 44-40290 obtained from the replacement depot. That plane was assigned the letter F+ therefore we conclude that this plane would have had that letter had it survived.
