The Airplane


A famous picture of "Incendiary Journey" on the June 1 mission to Osaka [Mission #46]
There is some question whether the dark area is an oil leak or the shadow of the plane above.  During the mission 6 aircraft of the 6BG were damaged, but all returned.

The Air Crew

The first crew of this aircraft appears to have been Crew #2407.

The Ground Crew

The crew chief for this airplane was probably T/Sgt William R. Smith
