This is awesome. I would try to figure out the nose art on the bomber and do something with that. Maybe put that on your bass boat or something.
Cool as hell. Glad you asked this here.
So, I’ve decided the plane I previously posted is not his, but a different one that the same pilot flew previously. The one pictured has a different s/n and his plane appears to have been OD green while that one is unpainted. Also his MACR report above lists the planes nickname as “none”. It looks like the one pictured above was the original “Herk’s Jerks” but was lost on July 19, 1944. It looks like the pilot was then assigned to a different unit (my uncle’s) and given a new plane. The new plane was apparently never officially named, but some reports still refer to it by the same name as the previous plane.
