B-17F 41-24577 "Hells Angels" was assigned to 358BS/303BG [VK-D] Bangor 14-
Oct-42; arrived at Molesworth 24-Oct-42; slated to RAF 100 Squadron, but
retained by 803rd BS ATD (American Training Detachment) before completing
48 missions without an abort or any crewman injured. Returned to the USA at
Newark, New Jersey on 10 February 1944 for War Bond tour. 41-24577 was the
first aircraft to complete 25 missions in the UK, earlier than the much
more publicized "Memphis Belle" reached the same status
