If you know the serial number of "Be There Baby", I can look it up and give you a mini-history of the plane, see if there are any similar dates in the history of both planes and that crew, and get the serial number/nickname connection to the people that keep track of such things.

There is no mention of BTB in any of the crew lists, so it probably flew before Aug of 1945, and nothing remarkable happened to it or it would have been written up somewhere. Sure wish someone had a serial number they could associate with it. Mary Alice has negative numbers 65449AC and and B65713AC(J) in the archives as well as a Group Blue Book photo and nose art in Volant's book on nose art.
