Yes, thanks. I have that picture. I wish there were one of this plane with Clark Jensen's crew but have not been able to locate one.
I have a letter from a survivor of that crash written to my mother a couple weeks after it happened. It describes the crash in detail almost moment by moment. Quite a treasure. I'm still trying to locate anyone who might have known him during his time in England. No luck so far.

Great pics, but now I'm confused. It seems too much of a coincidence that both planes that I know my person of interest piloted off and on, crashed on the same day. He was flying Satan's Sister on April 27, 1944 when it crash landed in England. Now I see the caption on Old Faithful - which he also piloted on occasion, crash landed on the same day. Does that information seem right?

I know my information about Satan's Sister is correct, but I hadn't ever seen the crash date for Old Faithful listed before.

re: failed upload. There is a limit to the size of the images that can be uploaded. It's 200K that may be why yours failed.

I see, thanks. I tried to upload the picture I had but the upload kept failing. Anyway, it was Clark Jensen's crew in front of the plane.

Yes, the crew would fly different aircraft on their missions. I assume this was due to the condition of the aircraft and they would launch the most mission ready aircraft.

Was this plane flown by more than one crew? I have a picture of this same plane with the crew standing in front of it. Pilot was my mother's husband. I posted the pic at one time bu not sure what happened to it - might have been in the posts that were deleted.
