Scott , You have been contacting my brother Tom regarding our dads aircraft. ANY info. you have regarding this plane or kermit or my dad would be greatly appreciated. I have my dads flight log and have always been confused that the serial # in his log did not match any planes in the 401st. There is a photo of this crew in califonia, I am tyrying to get a copy. I will forward a copy to the association if I am successful.

In my Dads flight log I have two aircraft serial Numbers . The first is state side. 42-97261 wright 4800, the date is from 2-11-44 . His log reports crash landing on 6-14-44 , on the Le Bourget Field, Paris Mission. 10 missions in his log after that , and on 7-26-44. his aircraft ser. is listed in the log as 42-97510, on a mission to St. Lo. None of these numbers match yours . Why would there be the descrepencies. look forward to hearing from you appriciate your work.
