| My Dad's usual plane was the "D Day Dottie" and I do have a picture of that plane. I am now trying to find a picture of  44-6129. <br/> <br/> To the best of my knowledge this plane never had a name, but it was the plane they were in the day they were shot down (July 19th, 1944 on a mission to Augsburg) The made it to the vicinity of Angers, France where they were attacked by 7 ME-109 <br/><br/><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://www.donald-byers.com/JackieSharpSig.jpg' /><br/>

| Jackie, <br/> <br/> Unfortunately I cannot help regarding a photo of the aircraft .<br/> <br/> The  only information I can offer is that this aircraft was assigned to the 613th Bomb Squadron on the 7th June 1944 so was with the 401st for a very short time, approx a month and a half. <br/> <br/> Sorry I cannot be of more help. <br/> <br/> Best of luck in your search. <br/> <br/> Regards, <br/> <br/> Dave <br/><br/><br/>

| Jackie: <br/> 1. Have you contacted the National Archives [mailto:stillpix@nara.gov|stillpix@nara.gov] about A/C 44-6129? I'm not sure how many ways their photos are now indexed or cross-referenced, but the more you can give them, the more likely a 'hit' - and they reply, regardless;<br/> 2. Is your 'D-Day Dottie' photo one of the National Archives' photos (or other source)?  I'm interested in a print or scan regarding the 1st.Lt. A.J. Nelson Crew's 9-30-44 Munster Mission aboard.<br/> Win, <br/> [mailto:win-z@comcast.net|win-z@comcast.net] <br/><br/><br/>
