11 May 44: Lost with Shalvoy Crew 618

On return from its first and only mission the ship ran out of fuel, crashlanding at a B-17 base near Bury St. Edmunds, England.

1 KIA, and 3 seriously wounded and returned to the USA.

Aircraft believed to have been taken by the 389th BG for salvage (see Footnotes).

Aircraft replaced with 42-95160. Due to the fact that the plane replacing SWEET CHARIOT was assigned the letter S, our theory is SWEET CHARIOT's tail would have had an S as well. But none of the 492nd planes had their tails painted on the Group's first mission.
