Thistle Do It!
Interesting one came up on eBay this week. Thistle Do It! was in the 64th Bomb Squadron, 43rd Bomb Group. Our best guess at the serial number, based mostly on a process of elimination, is 41-24383. Crashed into the Gulf of Papua on January 6, 1943. Pilot Lt Guyton Christopher and five of his crew were killed. What's under that overpainted section remains a mystery.
