Painted by Sgt George Blackwell with the help of Cpl Joseph Merenda and assigned to crew chief TSgt Dave Haines. Reported lost on 28th April 1945 after being hit initially by flak while on a bomb run against shipping on the Saigon River in Indochina. One of their bombs hit a freighter causing it to explode, possibly damaging the B25. Subsequent attacks by fighters caused it to crash about 20 miles SSW of Saigon killing five of the crew of 2Lt Andrew Johnson.
