proceeding to the target (Latisana, Italy Rail Road Bridge) 6 Jul 44. (Ball turret still retracted.) Photo taken from left waist gun position of HOPPY

Ship #30 was one of the earliest replacement aircraft for the 449th Bomb
Group. Arrived on or about 8 Feb 44 and flew its first mission with the
group on 14 Feb. After flying many missions into the Summer of 1944, STAR DUST became a
"hanger queen" and was used for static ground training.
