Crew Details: 
The crew's arrival at Harrington probably occurred in early 1945. Orcutt's name appears in the Operations Log once in May of that year and again for the return to the ZI in July of 1945.  The plane seems to be 41-28770 G, a former 44th BG plane before coming to Station 179.  Joe LaMarre was photographed twice with this plane on the stop in Iceland, once with the nose art and once with the tail number.  Full crew names from Special Orders 124, Station 179, dtd 11 June 1945, which transferred them from the 856th BS to the 858th BS.

Combat Period: Unknown
