Aircraft Information - 05/04/2007 09:17:15 PM
Looking for the tail number of the aircraft that 1Lt Eugene W Straw was flying when it crashed upon take off on 2 Jan 1943.  I have an  IDPF and the book by Wiley O Woods, but neither one makes mention to the tail number.
 
Also looking for the tail number of the aircraft that 2Lt William F Courtney was flying when it crashed in bad weather.  Again, I have an IDPF and the book by Wiley O Woods, but neither one make mention to the tail number.
 
Thanks for all the help

I list (no PICs) two possibilities for ""870"...
 
"870" B - 24 D - - - CO 41-11870 5 90 400
"870" B - 24 D - 10 - CO 41-23870 5 90 319
 
Anyone "Got PIC"?

I show 41-11870 as Coral Queen with a 1 Jan 43 termination date and
41-23870 as an  unnnamed 90th aircraft with a loss date of 2 Jan 43.
