Kasparian on July 08, 1999 at 14:39:44:<br><br>In Reply to: &quot;Slick Chick&quot; posted by Harry Ehmann on July 08, 1999 at 08:27:19:<br><br><br>: T.J. Greer flew 13 1/2 missions with &quot;Slick Chick&quot; as bombadier, 401 Bomb Group, 612 squadron.<br>: Slick Chick&quot; shot down by flak March 1944. Looking for any known photographs of &quot;Slick Chick&quot;.<br>: Would appreciate any assistance. Thank you.<br><br>Hello Harry,<br>According to the book &quot;Heavy Bombers of the Mighty Eighth&quot; by Andrews and Adams, &quot;Slick Chick&quot; B-17 SN 42-97811 with fuselage letters &quot;SC&quot; and tail letter &quot;N&quot; was shot down by AA on 25 Jun 1944 and crashed at Vaubecourt,<br>France. Pilot was Lt John W. Myretetus of Collingsworth, NJ. There were 3 KIA and 7 POW. MACR 6230. They indicate that the National Air and Space Museum in Washington has a photo: NASA 65704AC(J). There is also a photo (I presume of the noseart) on page 80 of the book &quot;Vintage Aircraft Nose Art&quot; by Gary M. Valant, Oscelo, Wisconsin: Motorbooks International, 1987.<br>George<br><br></td>
