This was my dad’s plane, Lt. Selmer B. Skalitzky.
He flew numerous missions in the European Theater, Germany and I’m not sure what else. I gave his flight logs to my nephew many years ago.

Thanks for all your work! It would be nice to have a search engine for the serial numbers. 183 pages searching for one took quite some time.
