My father 1st Lt. John F. Clark Jr. USAAF was a navigator on this aircraft during Project Ruby from March 1946 through August 1946. The plane was modified to carry two Disney Bombs beneath the wings which were during bomb testing on the submarine pens at Farge in Germany and Heligoland in the North Sea.
