Hot!B-17 and B-24 photo identification please

Here is another batch of aircraft I am trying to identify from the photos. I have had no luck so far and hope you can help. I need to tie up unit-serial number-codes and any other info you may have.

B-24 42-5719 coded D
 

B-24 named Sturgeon

B-24 named Little Jo

B-17G named Shoo Shoo Baby - has name Murray on nose and another above but not quite legible.
 

"Little Jo" B24-H-20-DT, #41-28958.
713th Bomb Squadron, 448th Bomb Group; crashed while landing in Belgium 27 FEB 1945.

Hi Donall,
 
Thanks for hunting this information out.

The first one;  take a closer look at that serial.
 
From Joe Baugher's serial list --
Ford B-24H-1-FO Liberator,  serial 42-7519 (93rd BG, 328th BS) interned in Switzerland Jan 7, 1944.  MACR 2367
 
-- Alan

Donall,
Do you know where in Belgium?
Thanks,
Phil

Joe Baugher's list says near Herne, Belgium.

The only additional information I have is that it was left for salvage at the "emergency airfield" where it crashed landed.

Tom,
 
Does this help any ?
