Any V Square 3 Info?
-
08/24/2005 12:46:10 AM
I'm looking for any information available on V Square 3 - my father was an electrician/mechanic on B29 engines in Saipan. His name was Raymond E. Morgan and I believe he served the last 2 years of the war. If you have any photos or information, I'd love to see/hear them. Thanks, Dan Morgan direct email: danandranae@yahoo.com

According to Sallyann's web site, there were two aircraft designated as V Square 3. 42-24658 Wugged Wascal ditched on 1/9/45 with the Murphy crew. 42-24887 survived the war and saw stateside service as a TB-29 before being scrapped in 1960.
My information shows a V Square 3 aircraft (42-24887?) having participated in the Osaka raid of 6/1/45 with the Cameler Crew. Takeoff time was 0404, and landing was 1827.

Attached is the last known photo of V3, Wugged Wascal. It's returning from the Tokyo mission of 1/9/45 (357). V3 would go down shortly after the picture was taken, 670 miles short Saipan. This photo is from the "unofficial History of the 499th BG," 1981, by Prentiss Burkett.
