Great update, Scott.
That photo of 42-102829 prompts me to ask a question--does anyone on the forum have a "master list" or any leads to the identification schemes used by Third Air Force? A few of us have been looking for a 2AF code order for years and I am starting to delve into the 3rd also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the nice plug for our Chuckie group. I spent the better part of Sunday comparing our radio room with wartime photos of Mickey ships that Paul Bellamy generously provided us. All the holes line up with where the H2X equipment went, further confirming that '543 was a standard PFF airplane when delivered to the AAF.

Added an addendum to correct a "perpetuating" error. Swedish B-17G SE-BAO is s/n 42-97155 vs. reported 42-97115. Oops.
