Probably an error – flew 60+ missions with 91BG but date of transfer out is less than 1 month after arrival. Transfer out should be 1944?

yes I think the correct date must be 27/7/44.
the 303rd BG web site list date as 27/7/43.

Hello, I’m the daughter of a WWII Ball Turret Gunner who flew on the Wabash Cannonball with the 96th Bombardment Squadron. We have his handwritten list of the crew, which also names the plane, as well as typed accounts of the missions they flew over Yugoslavia, etc. I’m looking for more information about the plane during that time period. Thank you!
