Message:
With much thanks to Ray Smeltzer for his help.
Ray sent me a copy of this order. I would like to find out more detail about this order. Where would I go to get more in-depth info? I would also like to find a picture of the plane used for this mission in FLYING condition. I believe the plane was named "One Time". In the order it was designated Plane M869.
This is some of the info on this order:
Mission number2
Pursuant to Operations Order DA/G1/5, Plane M869, of the 319 th Bombardment Squadron (H) Conducted a photographic reconnsissance mission on March 13, 1943, the primary objects being shipping and airport facilities at Soeraaya, Java and Den Pasar, Bali.
I have not been able to find a picture of this plane in flying condition anywhere. I do have one of it crashed, after a different mission.
Is there a U.S. Army website that would have more info on this plane and this mission?
Thank you, Jack Demcovich
