This phenom has been a pain in my neck for quite some time. How does the 379th get virtually a brand new ship transferred into the Group from the 398th that originally had her assigned to them for 5days (No Missions Flown) and use this jewel of aviation excellence for over a year as she racked up around 132 missions carrying some of the finest crews over Germany many times as a lead ship and not get one photo of her? Thus far I have not come across not one. I wish people would take time to search those trunks or boxes their parents or grandparents left them and share!
