Our father flew 25 missions on a plane called the thundermug. I think there was 2 planes of that name?

Jing you have an error in the name and photo of G-30-DL 42-38205 which conflicts with the same photo of 206.
#205 IARC should be consulted for a search for DUKO/ OHAM destination code and 90XXX-R Project Number give your Bomb group listing. Meanwhile, #206 should exhibit SOXO/UGLY and a 92XXX-R Project Number.
I f these Projects/ Destinations conform, the conflict should be resolved in favor of #206 as Thundermug and #205 limited to Winged Fury ,needing image.
