Sorry, that's all I've got. It's not in active restoration and stored up on trestles. Couldn't get any interior shots.

Not a problem, thank you for sharing what you do have.

Good to see, seeing as how there are not many survivors.

My 312th BG book has the following:

Serno is actually 43-21627. This makes sense as the 312th didnt get into combat untill 1944 and the "42" indicates a 1942 purchase contract. And thats unlikely as these bombers were used up at a good clip and most would have been gone by the time the 312th got into combat.

As per the book:

"Damaged in a flight line explosion at Nadzab on 7/4/44. Salvaged at Tadji in the 70's."
