2nd Lt. Fish was flying Jill's Jalopy.  And 2nd Lt. Maxwell Cain was flying the Carrie B. II.  In most of the books there two have been mixed up for many years.  As I have eyewittnes infromation from the flight engineer who was on Jill's Jalopy when it was shot down.

This is Joe La Grasta and you are so right KC Cribb as serial # 43-37511 was call Jill's Jalopy. I know as I have flown many missions in it as a Tail Gunner in 1944.
Jack Lippert was my Pilot and Tom Youmans my Co- pilot.
