B-17G-35-BO serial 42-31968, coded LN-D of the 350th BS/100th BG. Named "Miss Irish", she suffered a direct hit in the radio room on a No Ball mission to Mimoyecques on 19 March 1944; the radio operator Ed Walker fell from the ship and was lost, and gunner Frank "Bud" Buschmeier managed to splice the damaged elevator and rudder control cables back together by hand with square knots. The aircraft limped back to Raydon with no further injury to the crew; the ship was written off after only three missions.
