B-26B-55-MA Serial Number 42-96114 "Dinah" 9F-D
397th Bomb Group 597th Bomb Squadron

Nose Art modeled after Vargas's May 1944 Gatefold of Jean Dean
Mike,
"Dinah" was later re-named "Dinah Might".
There were several B-26 aircraft with "Dinah" serving with different bomb groups.
This one serving with the 397th BG / 597th BS was 42-96114, coded 9F-D, survived the war,
and was condemned for salvage in March 1946. I have the pilot listed as Lt. W V Flowers.
I suspect that Lt. R D Tollett was the bombardier/navigator,
as his name is inscribed on the nose section near the bombardiers position.
Regards & best wishes
Paul Clouting
