NOTES: 22 April 2021: Pete Johnston says that this aircraft most likely was just a loaner to the 380th for its sole 380th mission on 17 March 1945. There are 90BG documents recording a #471 in 320BS and 400BS from March – June 1945. It flew its last mission to Balikpapan with 400BS the day before it was written off. It is therefore now concluded that all of the 90th references apply to 44-49471 which was a known "RAVEN" RCM aircraft, and on that basis, it is suspected that the aircraft was never assigned, but only "loaned" to the 380th (much the same as GLORIA MARIE), for that one mission in March 1945.
