Original caption: (12) "Star Dust" 44-6592 384th BG IS-66
Reported missing on 3 February 1945, this aircraft was landed behind Russian lines, repaired, and flown back to Grafton Underwood where it was returned to combat service. It flew another 13 missions before transferring to Istres with the Group.
Photo taken by Jean Macken, an aerial gunner on the Robert Sheehan Crew, assigned to the 384th late in the war - too late to fly combat missions.
