I believe that my Dad, Jim Moore was the Bombardier/Navigator on this aircraft for several missions. The Pilot was Roland McCrae. One week prior to this aircraft being shot down, the crew was transferred to the 482 Bomb Group – Pathfinders. The new B17G was named the Carolina Boomerang III. Captain McRae who was from Greensboro NC. He named both planes.
