According to the 379th BG records Osborne has this all wrong. Lt Poynor Crew wasn’t her last Crew and she flew 40 Missions from 01 Feb. 1945 until the 379th BG’s last Mission 25 April 1945. Lt Poynor flew her on 16 Feb. 45 and 19 March 45. However, she was back in the air on 21 March 45 with the Lt Arnold J. Hecker Crew to bomb the Aerodrome at Hopsten Germany. I can send you this aircraft’s mission data. Lt Poynor did have to land away in Belgium on the 19th of March but 915 was flown back to Kimbolton that same day.

Thank you! I agree, that a lot of Osborne’s data are wrong or mixed up with other aircraft/crew’s fate. That’s why I am updating the information, if I can find or confirm the correct information.
So, please the me the files, I would read it 🙂
