UPL 46235
IMAGE44-8382 of the 96th BG Although not too great the code MZ-V is quite clear. This would indicate that the aircraft was with the 413BS 96BG. The AAM has four aircraft listed as MZ-V. One 42-4349 is a B17F so could not be this aircraft but the other three, 42-37830, 42-37850 and 44-8382 are all G models. I have enhanced the picture a little and you can make out that the first number on the serial is a 4 and that there are only 4 other numbers. Also this is a "Mickey ship" and the previous numbers were all in theatre before "Mickey" became available. therefore I would believe that this is a picture of 44-8382
