The Airplane

This was the first of two aircraft designated #15. (Although in the records, the designation was #1.) This aircraft was named “Blind Date” on the left side and had a second name added later, “Ladys Delight” on the right side. It may have been the only plane with two names. This aircraft was shot down on May 23 (Mission #43). All members of the crew survived, except for Sgt Stephen Spega.
