This B-17 was assigned to the 366th Bomb Squadron and coded KY-H. It was damaged on 17th May 1943 which must be why it was sent to AFSC on 18th May 1943. This photo shows the damage but with the incorrect date in the caption on the back. https://www.fold3.com/image/29022520/fire-from-20mm-cannon-ripped-along-the-left-stabilizer-of-a-b-17f-which-participated-in-the-lorient-
